Westheim in its present location is an old village, which was first mentioned in a document in 1080 in connection with a noble family, which called itself Lords of Westheim.
After several changes, Westheim came into the possession of the Counts of Stolberg, today's von Twickel family.
Westheim is characterized above all by its optimal traffic accessibility, due to its location on the very old traffic and settlement line of the Diemeltal valley.
Westheim is conveniently located on the B7, with a train station on the Hagen - Kassel railroad line and has a direct access to the A44 motorway.
