history

The village was first mentioned in a document in 1157 or 1196. A chapel was consecrated in 1517 . The hall church , built in 1895, is a sight.

South of Drommershausen located on a hill a castle site and next to the wall remnants of the former St. John - Convention and the Sanctuary Pfannstiel .

In the Grundbachtal in the direction of Weilburg, there are two historic watermill properties, the Grünsmühle (last operators of the Grün and Schmidt families) and the Neumühle, which was run by the Jung family and is therefore also known as the Jungsmühle. Their origins go back to the 13th century.

In addition to the Bishopric of Worms , the Count of Nassau-Weilburg and the Knights were before the Thirty Years' War in succession the lords of Scharfenstein , Rode , of Rodensteinstraße and Touch- local men, all vassals of the Bishopric of Worms were.

The fiefs of the Rodensteiner were next to Drommershausen in Hirschhausen , Pfaffenhausen ( desert between Hirschhausen and Kubach ) and Weilmünster .

The sources of income for the Drommershäuser used to be predominantly iron ore mining and agriculture .

In 1823 the place, together with the nearby Steinzler Hof, had 223 inhabitants.

Territorial reform

On December 31, 1970 , as part of the regional reform in Hesse, the previously independent communities of Ahausen, Bermbach, Drommershausen, Gaudernbach, Hasselbach, Hirschhausen, Kirschhofen, Odersbach and Waldhausen and the city of Weilburg merged on a voluntary basis to form the expanded city of Weilburg. This made Drommershausen a district of Weilburg.
