The Salzkotten Saltworks was a saltworks in Salzkotten, North Rhine-Westphalia, in the former Prince-Bishopric of Paderborn, probably founded as early as the 11th century.
The first mention of the salt spring in Salzkotten is in the sources from the year 1011 on the occasion of the donation of the County of Haholt by King Henry II to Bishop Meinwerk of Paderborn. The oldest documented reference to commercial salt production in Salzkotten dates back to 1160. In that year, Bishop Bernhard I of Oesede donated three boiling huts in Salzkotten to the Cistercian monastery of Hardehausen. For the year 1294, there is evidence of a Salzkotten salters' association, which already had share rights in the joint brine well of Salzkotten. From this point on, the number of salt works located in Salzkotten was always 24.
