The city of Bad Laasphe is bordered to the south and the municipality of Erndtebrück to the southwest.

History

The village of Dotzlar is one of the oldest settlements in Wittgenstein. The final settlement comes from Celtic, as are the names of the villages of Hemschlar, Schullar, etc. The old river, which still bears the name of the mountain fortress may prove the old age of the village. Dotzlar is mentioned for the first time in 1418; But it is assumed that the foundation was already 500–600 years earlier. [2]

Since 1 January 1975, the former municipality of Dotzlar has been a district of Bad Berleburg, one of the largest cities in Germany due to the municipal redevelopment.
