Ehringshausen

Ehringshausen is a municipality in the Lahn-Dill district that spreads across nine village centers, including Breitenbach, Daubhausen, and Dillheim. The area sits at about 186 meters elevation and covers around 45 square kilometers.

The first written mention appears in the Lorsch codex from 802, while Breitenbach, the oldest village center, traces its origins to around 778. Iron ore mining shaped the economy during the 19th and 20th centuries until operations stopped around 1956.

The church stands at the heart of each village center and serves as a gathering place that shapes the local character. It reflects the long religious tradition rooted in this region and its spiritual significance.

The Autobahn A45 and the Siegen-Gießen railway line connect the municipality with major transportation networks in the region. Regular train service makes it easy to reach the different village centers and explore the area.

Since 1973, the municipality has maintained partnerships with cities in France, the United Kingdom, and Thuringia. These international connections show a commitment to cultural exchange across borders.
