history
The name Holzhausen was first mentioned in a document in 1020 as an oppidum "Holthusun". In 1073 the manor belonging to the village, now called "Amthof", was first mentioned. At that time it was in the possession of Count Otto von Northeim , who in turn gave it away to the newly built Hasungen Monastery . Since Holzhausen was still a fiefdom of the monastery from Wedekind von Falkenberg in the 17th century , it must have been handed over in earlier years, but an exact date has not been recorded. When another Wedekind von Falkenberg, guardian of the Hessian lieutenant colonel Christian de Wrede, died in 1627 and still owed him over 2000 thalers, the Wedekind's heirs agreed to transfer the Holzhausen estate to Christian de Wrede on October 5, 1638. It remained in his possession until 1675 before it passed to the Braunschweig Lieutenant Colonel Hans Meier. In the years 1370, 1469 and 1560 the village was struck by several war fires and in 1428 the small single-nave village church “St. Johannis ”mentioned for the first time; because it has Romanesque origins, it probably already existed at the time the village was first mentioned. In the Thirty Years' War (1618 to 1648) Holzhausen was attacked in both 1626 and 1637 and devastated considerably.
The brown coal mining , the 1611 to 1970 in the area of Holzhausen (z. B. the Gahrenberg ) was operated, was the main source of income of the inhabitants. On August 21, 1821, the Hofgeismar district was formed, to which from then on Holzhausen belonged. From 1926, when the wooden houses elementary school was built, a new settlement area arose north of the town center, which was expanded between 1950 and 1965, and after 1945 another residential area south of the town center.
On December 1, 1970 , as part of the regional reform in Hesse, the town of Immenhausen and the previously independent communities of Holzhausen and Mariendorf merged to form the expanded town of Immenhausen. This made Holzhausen a district of Immenhausen. On August 1, 1972, the Hofgeismar district, to which the village belonged, became part of the Kassel district . From 1990 onwards, numerous road construction and design measures were carried out in Holzhausens.
