    Holsthum is a village in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate, located in the Eifel. Holsthum is known for its hop cultivation, which has been practiced since medieval times. The hops from Holsthum are mainly used for brewing pilsner beer.
    However, hop cultivation in Holsthum is no longer as flourishing as it used to be. Due to competition from other hop areas, mechanization and the decrease in demand for pilsner beer, the number of hop farmers in Holsthum has fallen sharply. In 2013, only two hop farmers were still active in the village. One of them is Josef Schmitz, who has been growing hops on his farm for over 40 years. He has about 3 hectares of hop fields, where he harvests about 10 tons of hops every year.

      Hops are grown not only in the Hallertau or Spalter Land. In Holsthum is also a well-known growing area for the green gold of the brewers.
