    Höxter, in the middle of the Weserbergland, is one of the oldest towns in northern Germany. With almost 30,000 inhabitants, the city combines picturesque half-timbered houses and medieval streets with a lively inner city.

    First mentioned in 823 as villa hucxori, the city's development was closely linked to the neighboring Imperial Abbey of Corvey and its favorable location on important trade routes. The historic old town is characterized today by some of the most important buildings of the Weser Renaissance with their typical decorative elements and carvings. The nearby Corvey Monastery received UNESCO World Heritage recognition in 2014 under the title “The Carolingian Westwork and the Civitas Corvey”. Whether in the blooming old town during the Höxter spring, the Huxori market with numerous music stages or when shopping in the glow of lights, the historic half-timbered town of Höxter is a pleasure all year round.
