Holzminden (; nds, Holtsminne) is a town in southern Lower Saxony, Germany. It is the capital of the district of Holzminden. It is located on the river Weser, which at this point forms the border with the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. History Holzminden is first mentioned in the 9th century as ''Holtesmeni''.

During the reign of Louis the Pious (814–840), monks from the Abbey of Corbie in France came to this part of Germany and founded a daughter house at Hethis in the Solling. As it became clear that this site was unviable (owing to lack of access to water) it was abandoned, and a new monastery, ''Corbeia nova'' (Corvey Abbey), opened close to the river. Old documents show that many pious donations were given to the ''Holtesmeni'' (monastery). The settlement is believed to have come into being, along with other ...

In federal states, local government generally comprises a third or fourth tier of government, whereas in unitary st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
