Holzmaden is a small municipality located in the district of Esslingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The town is internationally renowned for its exceptional fossil discoveries from the Jurassic period, particularly in the local Posidonia Shale. These fossils are remarkably well-preserved and include marine creatures such as ichthyosaurs, ammonites, and ancient sea lilies.

The area's geological significance has contributed to its cultural heritage, leading to the establishment of the Urwelt-Museum Hauff (Primeval World Museum), which houses an impressive collection of these Jurassic fossils. The museum attracts paleontology enthusiasts and researchers from around the world.

Beyond its paleontological importance, Holzmaden maintains its character as a traditional South German town, surrounded by the scenic landscape of Baden-Württemberg.
