Taunusstein, Urban municipality in Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis, Germany.

Taunusstein extends across 67 square kilometers of land in the Untertaunus range, reaching elevations between 310 and 613 meters above sea level.

The municipality formed in 1971 through the consolidation of ten independent communities, including Bleidenstadt, Hahn, and Wehen, creating the largest town in Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis.

The municipal coat of arms displays a golden lion and red cross, representing the historical influence of the Counts and Princes of Nassau in the region.

The town maintains connections to major urban centers, positioned 10 kilometers northwest of Wiesbaden with regular bus services linking to surrounding cities.

The Aar River originates in the Orlen district near a reconstructed Roman watchtower, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Germanic Limes.
