Located in the state of Hessen in Central Germany, Witzenhausen with a population of 15,000 people is the smallest university town in Germany. It is famous for the Werra river and
home to the satellite campus of the university of Kassel, offering the unique German ecological agricultural science programs.
The town is also nationally known for the invention of the Biotonne – a biological refuse container – in 1983, and as an important cherry-growing area; it is said to be Europe’s biggest self-contained cherry-growing area. Cherries are traditional in Witzenhausen, which has led to the yearly Kesperkirmes, or “Cherry Fair” at which a Cherry Queen (Kirschenkönigin) is chosen.
