Frohnhausen

Few communities in Hesse have a history as closely tied to iron-ore mining and metalworking as Frohnhausen. Today a district of Dillenburg in the Lahn-Dill-Kreis, it stands in the Dietzhölze valley alongside the Dietzhölze stream, before it meets the Dill. The settlement forms part of the Lahn-Dill region, where ore extraction, smelting and metalworking long shaped work and settlement patterns. Low wooded uplands of the Rhenish Slate Mountains surround the valley floor, giving this part of Hesse an inland industrial-rural character. Its link with Dillenburg also places it near a town associated with the House of Orange-Nassau. Continue exploring the surrounding area to see how this part of Hesse connects regionally.
