Emmerthal is a city and municipality in Lower Saxony about 10 kilometers south of Hamelin extending to both sides of the Weser.
background
The districts of Amelgatzen, Hämelschenburg and Welsede as well as Börry, Bessinghausen, Brockensen, Esperde, Frenke, Hajen and Latferde, Grohnde and Lüntorf belong to the municipality formed in the course of an administrative reform from the places Emmern, Hagenohsen, Kirchohsen, Ohr and Voremberg.
As strategically located places on the Weser and a ford, the places, on top of that in the border area between Hanover and Westphalia, have an eventful history with changing owners and devastation suffered.
The castle is the most important tourist destination Hämelschenburg, one of the style-defining houses of the Weser Renaissance. The district Grohnde is known nationwide for the nuclear power plant of the same name.
