The Münchhausenstadt Bodenwerder is a municipality in Holzminden district, Lower Saxony, Germany.

The settlement was first granted the status of a town in 1287 by Ritter Heinrich II von Homburg.

Around 1340 one of the Homburg Bodos was Lord of the Manor and originated a planned town with walls and towers.

In 1750, Baron von Münchhausen, who was born in Bodenwerder, retired to his estate here and told his famous stories to his friends.

The Münchhausen museum and monument as well as his grave in the monastery church of Kloster Kemnade [de] are notable tourist attractions.
