Romans and Celts

Archaeological finds bear witness to an eventful past on the Lahn. Celts and Romans settled here and left their mark. Fascinating adventure locations such as the reconstruction of a Celtic farm on Dünsberg, the Roman Forum Waldgirmes or the Limes fort in Pohl offer exciting insights into these long-gone times.

Churches and monasteries

The remarkable cultural history of the Lahn Valley is also reflected in numerous impressive church buildings, the most important of which include the Limburg Cathedral and the Elisabeth Church in Marburg. But numerous other churches and monasteries from different eras also bear witness to the rich history of churches and faith in the Lahn Valley.

Industrial Culture

The Lahn Valley is a region with a fascinating industrial heritage. Here, pioneers of their craft have always achieved outstanding achievements and left their mark. On the one hand, there is evidence of iron ore mining in the Lahn-Dill area and of the mining of the famous Lahn marble in Villmar an der Lahn. On the other hand, Leica presents the fascinating world of photography in Wetzlar and the history of the groundbreaking inventions of Nobel Prize winner Emil von Behring in medicine can be explored in Marburg.
