Ahnatal is a municipality in the district of Kassel, in Hesse, Germany. It is situated roughly 9 km northwest of Kassel, Germany.
[edit] Division of the municipality
It consists of three constituent villages, Weimar, Heckershausen, and Kammerberg.
[edit] Notable places
Although not famous for any particular sights, the "Bühl" in Weimar attracted geological interest at the beginning of the 20th century as it is one of the very few places where elementary iron (i.e. no iron compounds) can be found. The former mine is now a lake which is popular as a swimming pool.
[edit] Politics
Since 1945 Ahnatal always has had a social-democratic government.
