The Hörre is located in the central Hessian Lahn-Dill district , heavily forested and up to 445.1  m above sea level. NHN high ridge and natural area of ​​the Gladenbacher Bergland in the east of the Rhenish Slate Mountains .

The geological Hörre zone is derived from the name, the center of which lies below the center of gravity of the Hörre, which, however, goes well beyond the natural area to the north-east and south-west and also does not completely contain the north-west and south-east of the Hörre.

geography

location

The Hörre lies in the triangle between the towns of Herborn in the northwest, Bischoffen in the northeast, Ehringshausen in the south and Sinn in the west. It is bounded by the valleys of the rivers Aar in the north, Lemp in the southeast and south, and Dill in the southwest and west. In the northeast it touches the Aartalsee as part of the Roßberg . At the eastern edge of the Hörre, where it is cut by the Niederweidbach basin , the village of Bellersdorf lies on a plateau . Almost the entire mountain range is located in the Lahn-Dill-Bergland Nature Park ; only from the bird's-eye view seen approximately horseshoe-shaped region between Beller village Bermoll and Oberlemp located outside the park.

Natural allocation

The Hörre forms the natural area Hörre (320.04) in the natural spatial main unit group Westerwald (No. 32), in the main unit Gladenbacher Bergland (320) and in the subunit Lahn-Dill-Bergland (320.0 ). Neighboring natural areas are the Schelder Forest (320.02) in the north, the Zollbuche (320.03) in the northeast, the Niederweidbacher Becken (320.13) in the east, the Krofdorf-Königsberger Forst (320.05) in the southeast and the Lower Dilltal (321.0) in the southwest and west ; on the other side and thus to the west of the latter is the Oberwesterwald (323).

Localities

Clockwise, starting in the south, the Hörre lies on the districts of Ehringshausen , Sinn , Herborn , Mittenaar , Hohenahr and Aßlar . Their center is continuously forested and unpopulated. As a result, all localities are located on the outskirts in valleys of the rivers of the Hörre . The exception is Bellersdorf, which lies on a ridge and is enclosed on three sides by the Hörre.

mountains

The surveys of the Hörre include - sorted by height in meters (m) above sea ​​level (NHN):

  • Alteburg (445.1 m) - northern center, south of Ballersbach
  • Stellbag (429.3 m) - center, southwest of the Alteburg
  • Wind field (422 m) - north, south of Offenbach
  • Hohe Warthe (405.6 m) - west, southwest of Ballersbach
  • Hörrkopf (400.5 m) - east of the center, west of Bellersdorf
  • Roßberg (392.2 m) - extreme northeast south of Bischoffens , bounding the Aartalsee (Aarsee) west to south-west; separated from the rest of the Hörre by the Gellenbach
  • Reuterberg (approx. 374 m) - extreme north-west; Namesake of a Herborn district
  • Himberg (371.1 m) - peripheral to the Niederweidbach basin in the northeast, west-northwest of Altenkirchen ; separated from the rest of Hörre by the brook of Bellersdorf
  • Mühlberg (356.0 m) - southwest, southeast of Sinn
  • Koppe (353.8 m) - south, west of Kölschhausen
  • Galgenberg (300.6 m) - northwest outside, near Herborn- Burg

Still waters

On the north-eastern edge of the Hörre, near Ahrdt, the Aartalsee (Aarsee) , a reservoir on the Aar, is the largest body of water .

geology

General

The Hörre zone is a geological unit in the eastern Rhenish Slate Mountains , which in its north-east and south-west boundaries clearly exceeds the Hörre natural area - while it does not completely contain it to the north-west and south-east - but has its focus directly in the center of the Hörre.

Geologically, the Hörre zone represents the most south-westerly foothills of the Hörre-Gommern zone , which is only a few kilometers wide and extends from the Hörre to the northeast via Kellerwald and Harz for about 300 km into the Magdeburg area.

rocks

The sediments of the central Hörre zone of the Upper Devonian and Lower Carboniferous differ significantly from those of the neighboring Lahn (southeast) and Dillmulde (northwest). Centrally over the ridge of the Hörre towards the northeast there is a strip of limestone , silica slate and black slate , which is flanked to the southeast, and to a lesser extent to the northwest, by a strip of clay slate , sandstone , greywacke , quartzite and limestone .

The Hörre zone does not include the geologically part of the Lahnmulde on the Lemp and its side valleys in the southeast, as well as the north-west of the Hörre, which is geologically part of the Dillmulde, immediately east of Herborn .

flora

The combination of several factors makes the hearing attractive for those interested in botanicals. On the one hand, there is the geological diversity of the underlying Hörre zone . On the other hand, it is because this region of the low mountain range lies on the border between continental and maritime climates and was never glaciated during the ice ages. In the footsteps of Catharina Helena Dörrien , Johann Daniel Leers or Karl Löber , the biodiversity, some of which is still preserved, can be explored. The hybridization of native species, e.g. B. Lilien, through the former botanical garden of the High School Herborn or the historic park of the Villa Haas . In addition to a large number of neophytes such as Oregon grape , giant hogweed, etc., there are still remnants of endemic whitebeams , service berries , crab apples, etc. on hard-to-reach rock slopes, despite all prophecies of doom .

history

The first evidence of settlement goes back to around 4,500 BC. BC back. The dating goes back to various historical finds (burial fields of the corded ceramists, megalithic tombs). The "Hörre-Heege", a medieval landwehr , ran over the Hörre-Kamm . It began in Edingen an der Dill and at the Gellenbach mill between Offenbach and Bischoffen came across an annex of the external hedge , which was created as part of the Central Hessian hedge between 1359 and 1374 and is 16 km long. There used to be a customs office there (three-country corner, border: Hessen-Darmstadt / Solms / Nassau). A southern branch of the Cologne-Leipzig trade route formerly ran past Bellersdorf , which led from Herborn over the Hörre in the direction of Königsberg (Biebertal) , Krofdorfer Forst , Altes Gronauer Schloss (melting mill) to Fronhausen where it flows into the Weinstrasse .
