Arnoldshain

Arnoldshain is a district in Schmitten im Taunus in the Hochtaunus region at approximately 504 meters elevation. The area features rolling terrain with forests and meadows where homes and farmsteads are scattered throughout.

The earliest written record of this place dates to the early 13th century, when it was called Arnoldishagin. It fell under the control of the Lordship of Hattstein at that time.

The Laurentius Church, with roots around 1100, shapes the village center and serves as a gathering place for the community. It reflects the deep religious roots of the local population.

The village is connected by several hiking trails that lead to neighboring communities. Local shops and public facilities provide basic services to residents and visitors.

The Martin Niemöller Academy, founded in 1957, marks an important location in Protestant history. The Arnoldshain Communion Theses were developed here, shaping protestant church discourse.
