Holzminden, District capital in Lower Saxony, Germany.

The town of Holzminden stands on the Weser River, marking the border between Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia at 91 meters elevation.

Holzminden received its municipal charter from the Count of Everstein in 1245, evolving from the original village of Altendorf mentioned in the 9th century.

The Tilly House from 1609 represents Renaissance architecture while the city's doll museum presents collections of historical toys and playthings.

The HAWK university, established in 1831, specializes in architecture education and maintains modern facilities for students from numerous countries.

Holzminden developed into a center for scent and flavor production following Dr. Wilhelm Haarmann's chemical innovations in the late 19th century.
