Montabaur, District capital in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

The municipality extends across 34 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 230 meters, surrounded by the Westerwald mountain range.

The settlement received its name in 1217 from Archbishop Dietrich von Wied, who named it after Mount Tabor in Israel during fortification works.

The municipality maintains strong Catholic traditions with 55 percent of residents practicing Roman Catholicism and 20 percent following Protestant denominations.

The InterCityExpress station connects to Frankfurt in 40 minutes through the Cologne-Frankfurt high-speed railway line, serving 80 trains each day.

The yellow castle, Schloss Montabaur, now functions as a four-star conference hotel and training center for the German Cooperative Academy.
