Höxter, Administrative district in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
The district of Höxter spans 1,201 square kilometers in eastern North Rhine-Westphalia, encompassing ten towns and municipalities between the Teutoburg Forest and Weserbergland.
The district gained its current structure in 1975 through the consolidation of three historical Prussian districts: Höxter, Brakel, and Warburg.
Each of the ten municipalities within the district maintains individual town halls, cultural centers, and regular local events that preserve regional traditions.
The district administration provides centralized services for residents across all municipalities, with the main office located in the town of Höxter.
The Köterberg, rising 496 meters above sea level, stands as the highest elevation point in the district, offering views across the entire region.
