history
The area was mentioned for the first time in the 13th century, was initially owned by Isenburg and then came to Kurköln , which built up its own domain (hence "glory") and secured it against Kurtrier and the counties of Wied and Sayn with the Lahr castle . The historical (electoral Cologne) "Lahr glory" only included the towns of Burglahr and Oberlahr. The places Peterslahr and Eulenberg, however, belonged to Kurtrier.
Due to the main decision of the Reichsdeputation , both the Electorate of Cologne and the Electorate of Trier came to the Duchy of Nassau in 1803 and finally to Prussia in 1815 .
Today the area is a popular destination. The Westerwald-Steig long-distance hiking trail leads on its 14th stage near Peterslahr through the Lahr glory.
