Diez, Historic municipality in Rhein-Lahn district, Germany
Diez stands at 110 meters elevation along the Lahn River, featuring medieval streets and stone buildings beneath its hilltop castle.
The settlement received municipal rights in 1329 from Ludwig of Bavaria and developed from a Stone Age settlement into a fortified town with five gates.
The Graf Castle, transformed into a youth hostel and museum, represents centuries of architectural evolution and serves as an educational center.
The town connects to major cities through rail services and roadways, offering direct transportation links to Frankfurt and Koblenz.
The former residence of the Nassau-Dietz family maintains connections to Dutch royalty through William I, who led the Dutch revolt against Spanish rule.
