Herborn

Herborn combines a timber-framed old town with the learned legacy of a former Reformed academy town, in a way that reflects its place in the Dill valley of central Hesse. Founded in 1584 by Count John VI of Nassau-Dillenburg, the Hohe Schule Herborn became an important centre of Reformed Protestant scholarship. Half-timbered houses, sections of the old fortifications and narrow lanes give the historic centre a distinct character. The Dill, a tributary of the Lahn, runs through the town and links it to the wider landscape of the Lahn-Dill region.
