    This used to be a highly explosive area, because gunpowder was produced here and on a large scale. Numerous powder mills on the Kerspe and Wipper were operated by the Buchholz family of manufacturers - and therefore also called the Kingdom of Buchholz. The Diana hunting powder they produced was the best seller among the powder manufacturers. For more than 200 years almost every venison in Germany was shot down by bullets fired with Diana hunting powder.
    But it was also less deadly. The powder manufacturers also invented the crackers, which generations of boys enjoyed playing cowboys and Indians.
