Porta Westfalica

Few towns in North Rhine-Westphalia have a history as closely tied to travel along the Weser as Porta Westfalica. The river cuts through the narrow Westphalian Gate between the Wiehen Hills and the Weser Hills before reaching the North German Plain, giving the town its distinctive setting. Above the passage, the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument on Wittekindsberg commemorates Emperor Wilhelm I and has become the area’s best-known landmark. Porta Westfalica was formed in 1973 through the merger of 15 formerly independent municipalities.
