Burg is a district of Herborn in the Lahn-Dill district in Central Hesse .

Geographical location

Burg is located immediately north of the core city. To the west, the federal highway 45 and to the east, the federal highway 255 and the federal highway 277 pass the place. Burg has a stop on the Dill route . In Burg, the Aar and Amdorfbach (Ambach) flow into the Dill.

history

The place was settled early; the discovery of a grave from the Merovingian era suggests this. Burg was first mentioned in 1263, in connection with the local nobility of the same name at that time. The sex is documented from 1206 to the end of the 14th century. There were two crossed sticks in the coat of arms, which were supposed to represent maces.

The place name is derived from a large castle, which was built in the early Middle Ages on the "Breiten Berg" and probably served to further secure the nearby old Dernbacher ancestral castle . It is possible that the old court of justice of the Herborner Mark was at this point above the Dill , and the castle was supposed to secure the rule of the Lords of Dernbach in the Mark. The castle was probably destroyed at the beginning of the Dernbach feud and not rebuilt. Today only remains are preserved. In the old town center there was a Nassau estate and a mill. Industrialization began around 1818 with the establishment of a smelting and hammer mill . The Burger Eisenwerke specialized in oven and stove construction (brand name: Juno ). The company was north of Dillenburg. Today, however, the company premises are only used by small companies. After Juno, Electrolux had its production in the Burger Eisenwerke (Burger Hütte).

The chapel on the Breiten Berg is the landmark of Burg.

Burg used to have a direct rail connection for passenger and freight traffic through the Herborn – Montabaur railway line (Westerwaldquerbahn), but this has been closed and largely dismantled.
