Witzenhausen, Information and images
| Town Witzenhausen
This place received city rights in 1225 and was the county seat before 1974. The city is a well-known important cherry-growing area of the country. This area is considered to be the largest closed cherry-growing area in Europe. Cherries have a long tradition in Witzenhausen, which is why Kesperkirmes (Kesper = cherry) are celebrated every year in July when a cherry queen is elected. Witzenhausen is the seat of the Faculty of Organic Agricultural Sciences at the University of Kassel, which offers courses in organic farming. There is also a school (DEULA) for environment and technology, agriculture, horticulture and horticulture/landscape. [002.9]
