was mentioned

for the first time history Holzminden in 9. Century as Holtesmeni, Holtesmynne. The name meant not “Waldgeschmeide”, but comes of to the today's district town from menni = brook and originally designated not the place, but the 1922eingemeindete old person village (1275 antiqua mansion), a settlement at the large, of the Niederrhein by Westphalia to the east (Braunschweig and/or. Leipzig) prominent road, which crossed the Weser.

Beside the settlement old person village probably developed between 1197 and 1202 as market andTariff cities of the counts von Everstein the new facts plantatio (new establishment), whose regular plant is still clearly recognizable in the sketch.

1245 received the confirmation of its important city right to Holzminden by Otto von Everstein; since 1240 this is also in the possession of the castleat the Weser. End 16. Year dog ore the castle was given up and their ruins only 1860 were broken off finally. In its protection Holzminden did not walk however, like it for the majority of the cities applies, to one with towers reinforced Ummauerungaway, but was content with the retention of the initial simple port attachment (barrier and Palisade).

In the embittered arguments with the Welfen advancing since the state-legal acknowledgment of their national principality 1235 powerfully against the Weser line and their party men, the noble gentlemen of Homburg,the Eversteiner count 1408 alienated, the city remained since early 16. Century in the exclusive possession of the Wolfenbüttler lines of the braunschweigisch lüneburgischen house. Since 1815 under the designation duchy Braunschweig, 1918 to 1941 Free State Braunschweig).

In the future undertaken attempts,their economical position opposite the neighbouring Höxter (Corvey) to strengthen (among other things first bridge construction attempt 1619/1620), suffocated the dreissigjährige war. Holzminden was destroyed 1640 by imperial troops and down-burned and recovered only slow from it.

Inlively movement came Holzminden only again since center 18. Century due to determined structural and economic promotion (among other things Establishment of an iron work) by the mayor Johann George von Langen (1742 - 1763) and by the connection of the monastery school of Amelungsborn with the city school.
