Lahntal

Lahntal is a municipality in Marburg-Biedenkopf that spreads across rolling hills along the Lahn River. The area brings together seven villages that form a connected settlement within this river valley landscape.

This municipality came into being in 1971 when several independent villages merged into a single administrative unit. This consolidation shaped the governance structure that exists today.

Each of the seven communities has maintained its own local festivals and traditions that shape life here throughout the year. You see these customs reflected in the events and in how residents use and care for their places.

A tram and railway connect the area to the neighboring towns of Marburg and Biedenkopf. Those exploring the region will find good walking routes and paths along the river.

The Rimberg Tower near Caldern and the Old Lahn Bridge in Goßfelden represent different architectural styles from separate periods. These two structures offer a window into the region's longer building history.
