Dietkirche, Medieval collegiate church in Limburg-Dietkirchen, Germany.

The St. Lubentius basilica stands on the western bank of the Lahn River, with housing plots arranged on terraces supported by multiple retaining walls.

The settlement was first documented in 841 as 'ecclesia dietkircha' and became an archdeaconate of the Archdiocese of Trier by the year 1021.

The traditional Dickerischer Maat market, originating from medieval pilgrimages to Saint Lubentius's grave, continues as a regional gathering each October.

A pedestrian bridge constructed in 1989 connects the area to regional bike paths, replacing the ferry service that operated from 1048 to 1959.

The Celtic cross in the World War I prisoner cemetery represents the only Irish high cross found on the European mainland.
