The district borders on Hasselbach in the north and Odersbach in the east . Wirbelau join in the south and Schupbach in the west .

Landesstrasse 3322 runs through Gaudernbach .

history

The town was first mentioned in a document in 1325. A chapel was built in the second half of the 14th century .

In the first half of the 19th century, the six communities Obertiefenbach , Heckholzhausen , Gaudernbach, Wirbelau, Eschenau and Schupbach formed a fire fighting district. When a fire broke out, certain residents with four harnessed horses had to fetch the fire engine stationed in Schupbach immediately.

The Gaudernbach volunteer fire brigade was founded on January 21, 1906 . In this way, she and other already existing volunteer fire brigades formed the Oberlahn extinguishing district in the fire service association for the Wiesbaden administrative region , within which she entered the district assembly in Obertiefenbach on September 3, 1906 with a strength of 32 members.

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 Gaudernbach a district of Weilburg.
