Dorfweil, Mountain district in Schmitten im Taunus, Germany

Located in Weiltal valley at 404 meters elevation, Dorfweil forms a residential section of Schmitten im Taunus with numerous hiking paths through the Taunus mountains.

First documented in 772 as Wilina in the Lorsch Codex, Dorfweil originated as a settlement focused on ore mining activities in the Taunus region.

The local church, constructed in 1906, features a war memorial created by August Bischoff with a sitting female figure commemorating fallen soldiers from 1914 to 1918.

The district maintains the Ferienstätte Dorfweil, a family vacation center with an indoor swimming pool and conference facilities for visitors throughout the year.

The municipal coat of arms, designed in 1953, displays black mining tools on a golden background, representing the historical mining heritage of this settlement.
