Leopoldshöhe (German pronunciation: [ˈleːopɔltsˌhøːə]; Low German: Höchte) is a municipality in the Lippe district of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, with ca. 17,000 inhabitants (2025). Located in the rolling plains north of the Teutoburger Wald range, Leopoldshöhe consists of eight formerly independent

municipalities: Asemissen, Bechterdissen and Greste to the south, Leopoldshöhe proper, Krentrup and Schuckenbaum at the center, and Nienhagen and Bexterhagen to the north. Both Asemissen and Leopoldshöhe proper have a pronounced infrastructure (supermarkets, gas stations, specialized shops, etc.). Located only 10 km from the city of Bielefeld, the southern and central parts of the municipality today have a mostly suburban feel to them, but also contain several industrial zones, whereas the north is still mainly rural. Asemissen is only a few hundred meters away from the A2 autobahn motorway, and (with the Oerlinghausen railway station) is on the railway line from Bielefeld to Detmold and Lemgo. A bus service connects almost all villages to the railway station.
