Weihergrund von Anspach, Nature reserve in Hochtaunuskreis, Germany

Weihergrund von Anspach is a 3.68-hectare nature reserve established in 1986, mostly in Anspach and partly in Arnoldshain. It protects a meadow floodplain of the Aubach stream below the Klingenberg hill.

The area takes its name from the old field designation 'weyer grundt', first recorded in 1744, with 'weyer' meaning meadow in the local dialect. This naming reflects how the landscape was understood and used by people who lived and worked in the region centuries ago.

The field name 'Weihergrund' derives from 'im weyer grundt', recorded in 1744, where 'weyer' meant meadow. North of the reserve, on Arnoldshain ground, lay the Isabellengrube iron-ore mine, first worked by the lords of Reifenberg, whose male line died out in 1686.

The reserve lies on the Aubach meadow plain below the Klingenberg, mostly in Anspach's district and partly in Arnoldshain's. The 3.68-hectare site has no visitor facilities; walkers reach it on foot from the surrounding area. Stay on the paths across the wet meadow and keep to the protected zone's edges.

A former hunting lodge built in 1909 for Fritz Opel of the automobile company once stood beside this nature reserve. The building was demolished in January 2022, leaving behind only historical records and memories from local residents.
