Both waters flow into the Forstbach . Holenberg is surrounded on three sides by mountains of the Voglers, which belong to the municipality, in the south the area slopes down to the Forstbachtal. In the west, the 302.4  m above sea level rises . NN high vineyard, which is designated as a nature reserve, in the northwest of the Himbeerbrink ( 400.5  m above sea level. NN ), in the north of the Bax mountain as a foothill of the Kohlhai, which is 440.8  m above sea level. NN is the highest elevation of the municipality, in the northeast the Tollburg, which is also a mountain spur of the cabbage shark, and in the east the Bützeberg ( 352.6  m above sea level ).

history

It is not known since when Holenberg was continuously settled. The first written mention can be found in a document of the Hildesheim Monastery before 1007 as "Holanberg". The name probably goes back to the location in a depression between the foothills of the Vogler . Later documents show that Holenberg belonged completely to the Amelungsborn monastery since 1493 . In a document from 1556, the place is then described as "newly built", so it was probably completely or partially devastated in the 15th century. It is assessed differently whether this was the case due to late medieval feuds or through conversion into an Amelungsborner Vorwerk .

Until the end of 2010, Holenberg was a state-approved resort .

Place name

Old variations of the place name are around 1007 Holanberg, 1197 Holenberg, 1197 Holemberghe and around 1217 Holenberge.

Word formation with the basic word "mountain". In the first part of the word, see Old Saxon, Middle Low German “hol” or “hollow”. That should mean the "trough-shaped, sunk". The motif for the naming is likely to be a depression surrounded by the foothills of the Vogler. Especially seen from the south with a view of Holenberg, relatively steep hills rise to the west, north and east, so that the settlement area is clearly depressed.
