Pierre le Roi
January 4, 2026, Birthplace of Nicolaus August Otto

In Holzhausen an der Haide stands the birthplace of Nicolaus August Otto, the inventor of the Otto engine (four-stroke engine). The upper floor of the house contains the Holzhausen town hall, while the lower floor houses a small museum dedicated to Nicolaus August Otto. It's not very large, but definitely worth a visit.

An eventful and educational insight into the world of Nikolaus A. Otto's inventions. Compiled and presented knowledgeably and lovingly on a voluntary basis by an association. We enjoyed a very nice and friendly tour. It is very useful to register in advance by telephone.
