The Oranienstadt Dillenburg is a city in the Lahn-Dill district in central Hesse . The city is a middle center and was formerly the district town of the Dill district , which is now part of the Lahn-Dill district.
The city is the starting point of the Rothaarsteig long-distance hiking trail and is located on the German-Dutch holiday route Oranier Route and the German half-timbered road .
On November 1, 2017, the Hessian Minister of the Interior and for Sport, Peter Beuth , gave the city the city name extension "Oranienstadt". According to Paragraph 13, Paragraph 2 of the Hessian Municipal Code, the new name is an integral part of the municipality name (to be compared with “am Main” near Frankfurt am Main ). This refers to the outstanding historical position of Dillenburg as the headquarters of the Orange branch of the House of Nassau . William of Orange , the "father" of the Netherlands, was born in Dillenburg.
geography
Geographical location
The Oranienstadt Dillenburg is located in the Dill Valley along the Dill and the Dietzhölze that flows north of the city, while the Nanzenbach and Schelde tributaries from the Schelder Forest flow in the south of the city . The dill represents the interface between the Westerwald in the west and the Gladenbacher Bergland in the east, to which the Scheldt Forest also belongs. To the northwest of the city, between Dill and Dietzhölze, the Struth rises as the foothills of the Rothaargebirge . The Galgenberg , located in the city of Dillenburg, between the city center and the Manderbach district , can be seen as the southernmost elevation of the Rothaargebirge.
Neighboring communities
Dillenburg borders in the north on the municipality of Eschenburg , in the east on the municipality of Siegbach , in the south on the city of Herborn and the municipality of Breitscheid and in the west on the city of Haiger . All neighboring communities are in the Lahn-Dill district in the state of Hesse.

history

The first documentary mention was in 1254. Only 90 years later, in 1344, Dillenburg received city rights from Emperor Ludwig IV the Bavarians .
Dillenburg was the ancestral seat of the Orange branch of the House of Nassau . The Dillenburg was built on today's Schlossberg at the end of the 13th and beginning of the 14th century. This castle was of great importance for the House of Nassau because, unlike Herborn Castle, it was not a fiefdom of the Landgraves of Hesse , but an own castle. There are no pictures of this castle as it was probably made of wood and was destroyed in the Dernbach feud around 1323.
In the 16th century, the main residence of the Counts of Nassau-Dillenburg was built on the site of the old castle with the Dillenburg Castle , which from 1536 was expanded into a modern fortress at the same time. From exile in the castle, William of Orange, who was born in Dillenburg, organized the Netherlands' resistance against Spain (1567–1572), which still connects the Dutch royal family with the city today. The land was administered by a President of the Nassau-Dillenburg government. One of the last presidents was Georg Ernst Ludwig Freiherr von Preuschen von und zu Liebenstein .
A city fire devastated large parts of the city in 1723. More than 200 buildings fell victim to the flames. Many of the half-timbered houses that were built after the fire are still standing today.
In the Seven Years' War , the Dillenburg Castle in 1760 was destroyed. The buildings on Wilhelmstrasse were built from the remains of the castle. 8 June 2010 it was announced that the Wilhelmstrasse - such as also the Wilhelmsturm - henceforth the protection of the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict subject. The Hessian State Stud is located in Wilhelmstrasse .
The casemates under the former castle from the 16th century have been partially preserved and are among the largest underground defenses in Europe. The casemates provided quarters for over 2,000 soldiers in times of war. Some of them have been exposed again and can be walked on in a tour. They too - like the "Villa Grün" - are now subject to the Hague Convention.
In the Duchy of Nassau , Dillenburg was the seat of the Dillenburg office and the Dillenburg court .
In 1875, the Wilhelmsturm , today Dillenburg's landmark , was completed on the Schlossberg. The tower is supposed to commemorate William of Orange.
In the 19th century, the industrial revolution began with the construction of the Sieg-Dill route as part of the railway line from Giessen to Cologne . The region experienced an upswing through the use of iron ores found on the Lahn , Dill and Sieg . Numerous mining, metallurgy and metal processing operations were established. During this time, many branch lines starting from Dillenburg were built, including to Gönnern and Ewersbach . These routes have now been closed again. The route to Gönnern was closed in 1987 and completely dismantled. The depot , which was necessary for the many branch lines in the steam locomotive era , was closed in 1983.
During the Second World War , Dillenburg with its now disused marshalling yard was the target of Allied bombing raids. The ore mining became increasingly unprofitable after the Second World War. In 1968 the last blast furnace in the Oberscheld district ceased operations.
During a storm on September 17, 2006, 103 liters of rain fell on the square meter. The Dill and its tributary Scheldt overflowed their banks and in particular flooded the districts of Ober- and Niederscheld. Over 1000 cellars were full, and the district hospital was damaged and had to be partially evacuated. The total damage amounted to well over 20 million euros.
In 2007, the Schlossberg tunnel was opened as a bypass of the B 277 . This runs below the Schlossberg and thus bypasses the historic half-timbered old town.

Twin cities
.jpg)
In 1963 Dillenburg founded the “Union of Orange Cities” with the cities of Breda in the Netherlands, Diest in Belgium and Orange in France. These cities were important residences of the Orange branch of the House of Nassau.
It has been twinned with Hereford in Great Britain since 1989. From the Dillenburg side, the “German-English Society”, from the Hereford side, the “Twinning Association” maintains the partnership. The two clubs visit each other on an annual basis. In 2005 the town hall (branch of the town hall, for example with a tourist office, registration office) was renamed “Hereford House”.

Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
Several important traffic routes run through the Dill Valley. Dillenburg is connected to the federal autobahn 45 , the so-called "Sauerland line", via which the Rhine-Main area and the Ruhr area can be reached. Since the motorway runs above the Dill Valley, the Sechshelden Viaduct , the Marbachtal Bridge and the Lützelbachtal Bridge have been built in the Dillenburg area. Federal roads 253 and 277 also run through Dillenburg . The B 253 leads via Biedenkopf , Frankenberg and Fritzlar to Melsungen . The B 277 begins in the neighboring town of Haiger and leads via Herborn to Wetzlar . It is built like a motorway between Sechshelden and Dillenburg and between Dillenburg and Sinn . The high traffic load in the city center of Dillenburg from the B 277 led to the construction of the bypass with the Schlossberg tunnel , which now connects the two expanded sections of the B 277. The Dill line as a section of the Cologne-Giessen railway via Wetzlar and Siegen connects Central Hesse with the Rhineland and the Ruhr area . The Dillenburg station was once an important freight station due to iron mining in the Schelderwald .
The nearest international airports are Frankfurt am Main , 107 kilometers away, and Cologne / Bonn , 121 kilometers away. The traffic Siegerland airport is 22 kilometers away.
