Limburg an der Lahn, Medieval district capital in Hesse, Germany.

The town stretches along both sides of the Lahn River, with narrow streets leading to a hilltop crowned by a late Romanesque cathedral.

The settlement received town rights in 1214, developing into a major commercial hub between the trade routes of Cologne and Frankfurt am Main.

The St. George Cathedral exhibits seven spires and contains medieval frescoes depicting biblical scenes and regional noble families of the 13th century.

The town center maintains eight distinct postal codes, from 65549 to 65556, reflecting its administrative organization into different municipal districts.

The Römer 2-4-6 house, constructed in 1289, represents the oldest documented free-standing timber-framed building in Germany.
