history
The Romans built a castle at the mouth of the Lahn in today's Niederlahnstein in 369 , which served as a border fortification and was a kind of guard post for the Fort Confluentes (today Koblenz ). The Lohenstein House, built on the remains of the Burgus, fell to Kurtrier in 1018, and the late Romanesque Johanniskirche was built on the same site in the 12th century . In Oberlahnstein , the Franconian Salhof came to Kurmainz around 900 .
Since 1226 the Archbishop of Mainz Siegfried III. von Eppstein Burg Lahneck to protect its area at the mouth of the Lahn, where the town of Oberlahnstein and the silver mine, which had been in Friedrichssegen since 1220, came to Kurmainz. The first mention of a burgrave at the castle was in 1245. The Archbishop of Trier Arnold II of Isenburg acquired the bailiwick of Niederlahnstein in 1256. The Martinsburg was built at the end of the 13th century as a base for exercising the Mainz customs rights on the Rhine.
King Ludwig IV the Bavarian granted Oberlahnstein town charter in 1324 , and construction of the town fortifications began at the same time. Niederlahnstein received city rights in 1332, but they had no effect. A customs tower in Trier was built on the Lahn in 1348, which has been preserved on the inn on the Lahn built in 1697 . The St. Barbara Chapel was built in Niederlahnstein in 1358. During the Mainz collegiate feud in 1461/1462, Lahneck and Oberlahnstein Castle fell temporarily to Kurtrier, after Koblenz and Trier troops attacked Oberlahnstein in 1462.
The old town hall of Oberlahnstein was first mentioned in 1507. The plague broke out in Lahnstein in 1542. In 1569 a ferry line was built across the Lahn between Oberstein and Niederlahnstein. During the Thirty Years War , both parts of the city were occupied several times by Swedish, Imperial, French and Hessian troops. A first Allerheiligenberg chapel was built in 1671, the neo-Gothic successor building in 1895–1901. In the Palatinate War of Succession in 1688, Lahneck Castle was destroyed by French troops by setting the roofs on fire. Goethe , accompanied by Lavater and Basedow , docked in Lahnstein on July 18, 1774 on a boat trip on the Lahn and Rhine and had his lunch in the tavern on the Lahn.
During the coalition wars Ober- and Niederlahnstein were alternately occupied by Austrian, Prussian, French and Russian troops between 1795 and 1800. After the French had withdrawn from the right bank of the Rhine in the Peace of Lunéville , Lahnstein first fell to Nassau-Usingen through the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 and then to the newly created Duchy of Nassau in 1806 . In 1852 the reconstruction of Lahneck Castle began. A first section of the Lahn Valley Railway from Oberlahnstein to Bad Ems was opened on July 1, 1858. On August 11, 1856, the first section of the Nassau Rheinbahn from Wiesbaden to Rüdesheim was opened. Because of the difficult construction work, the line was only extended to Oberlahnstein on February 22, 1862 and to Niederlahnstein on June 3, 1864, after the first railway bridge had been built over the Lahn in 1862.
After the Duchy of Nassau lost the German War on Austria's side in 1866 , it was annexed by Prussia . The now Prussian Lahnstein began work to connect its railway to the Prussian right-wing Rhine route by 1869 . Since 1873 a road bridge over the Lahn has connected the present-day districts of Ober- and Niederlahnstein. The bridge, which was last replaced by a new building in 1997, was named Rudi-Geil-Brücke in 2008 after the Lahnstein politician Rudi Geil . In 1902 Niederlahnstein was connected to the Koblenz tram. Between 1910 and 1912 Theodor Zais developed the Ruppertsklamm . After the First World War , Lahnstein was occupied by French troops between 1918 and 1929 as part of the occupation of the Rhineland . The synagogue in Oberlahnstein was destroyed in the Reichspogromnacht of 1938 . During the Second World War , Lahnstein was the target of Allied air raids in 1944 and 1945. After the war, Lahnstein came to the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate in 1946 . The barrage on the Lahn was completed in 1957.
On June 7, 1969 the merger of the previously independent towns of Ober- and Niederlahnstein to form the town of Lahnstein. Between 1971 and 1975, under the last mayor of Oberlahnstein, spa director Fritz Berlin, the new Lahnstein spa center with thermal baths and spa clinic was built on the initiative of the Lahnstein merchant Ernst Wagner (1920–1986) . It was recognized as a "mineral spring spa" in 1975. From 1977 to 1991 Max Otto Bruker was the medical director of the spa clinic. On March 30, 1977, Lahnstein became a separate district of Lahnstein on the Höhe, and in 1998 it was recognized as a “place with a mineral spring spa”. After the thermal baths were closed in 2006, this title was no longer valid in 2014.
As part of the expansion of the B 42 to a bypass road , the Lahntal Bridge and the Lahneck Tunnel were completed in 1979 . The city's cultural monuments have been part of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2002 .
