history
Oberneisen was first mentioned in 790 in a deed of donation from Charlemagne as Nasonia . This document documents the donation of Oberneisen and several surrounding villages to the Prüm Abbey . The place initially belonged to the Lahngau , later to the resulting county of Diez . From the 15th century, the sovereignty of Oberneisen split between the House of Nassau , Eppstein, Katzenelnbogen, the Landgraviate of Hesse and Kurtrier .
There is evidence of a court in Oberneisen for 1092 . At the end of the 13th century the place became the seat of a parish to which several surrounding villages belonged. From 1334, Schultheiße are guaranteed in Oberneisen, from 1412 Heimberger .
In the Thirty Years War the place was completely destroyed and later rebuilt. In 1806 the place was taken over by the Duchy of Nassau . After the annexation by Prussia, the place was part of the Prussian province of Hessen-Nassau from 1866 until the end of the Second World War and then came to the state of Rhineland-Palatinate .
The ruins of the Vogtei Oberneisen are located in Oberneisen. The knight dynasty held the bailiwick of St. Alban's Abbey in Mainz . Only the foundation walls of the once four-story tower have been preserved.
Between 1569 and 1620, the pastor gave school lessons in the village for the first time. The first schoolhouse was built in 1632 and until 1819 pupils from all over the parish went to it.
economy
A mill near Oberneisen is mentioned for the first time in 893.
The mining of Roteisenstein and phosphorite took place in the Oberneisen district . Mining must have existed before 1648, as the field name "In der Eysengrub" appeared for the first time in this year. Actual underground mining only began much later in the Rothenberg mine, from which the remains of industrial buildings and the dumps have still been preserved. Findings of manganese spar / raspberry spar ( rhodochrosite ) from the active mining period can be seen in Wiesbaden in the Wiesbaden Museum .

Culture and sights
Buildings
Oberneisen Castle
The building, first mentioned in 1288, was the seat of the Knights of Nesen. The former western outer wall of the castle , a wall about 20 meters long, one meter thick and four stories high, which is located below the round church, has been preserved. The annual castle festival takes place in the courtyard.
Evangelical Church Oberneisen
Shortly before 881, the Prüm Abbey had a church built in Oberneisen. A successor building was consecrated between 1021 and 1031. This was followed by a church building, from which a late Romanesque tower that still exists today comes from. In 1525 the choir of the church was completely rebuilt, and in 1733 the entire building was completely renovated. In 1815 the building was demolished except for the old tower.
From 1816 to 1819 a new round church in the classical style, planned by Friedrich Ludwig Schrumpf and financed by the communities of Lohrheim, Netzbach and Oberneisen, was built. The Romanesque west tower was included in the new building. The church called “Dom des Aartal” is, as far as is known, the only round church north of the Alps with the altar in the middle of the room. The round altar consists of a marble slab with a diameter of 1.75 meters. The church has 250 seats on the ground floor and another 250 people in the gallery.
