Laimbach is a part of the market town of Weilmünster in the Limburg-Weilburg district in Central Hesse .

geography

The place is located in a side valley of the Weil in the eastern Hintertaunus , surrounded by forest. It is the northernmost part of the municipality and is located between the villages of Bermbach in the north and Ernsthausen in the south. The highest point near Laimbach is the Hollandskopf at 339 meters (above sea level).

history

It was first mentioned in 1299. A Dietrich von Leynbach attested a deed of donation at that time. The liege lord von Laimbach changed several times, for example in the 14th and 15th centuries the bishopric of Worms was the owner of the village. In the village and the surrounding area, ore was mined and smelted into iron by the inhabitants, so there were several iron ore mines in the late Middle Ages . This was confirmed in a document in 1565 by Count Albrecht von Nassau-Weilburg and Saarbrücken . From 1771 at the latest, Laimbach had its own mayor and from 1852 a mayor .

After the seizure of power of Hitler on 30 January 1933, the last free elections for mayor in the town took place in Laimbach on 12 March. Julius Stroh (SPD) won, whose election was declared valid. At the beginning of April 1933 he was forcibly removed by SA troops and August Löw was appointed as the new mayor.

Territorial reform

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the mayor Erwin Rosenauer and the 1st alderman Kurt Heil von Laimbach signed the border change agreement on December 7, 1970, which resulted in the merger of the previous market town of Weilmünster in the Oberlahnkreis on December 31, 1970 with the previously independent municipalities of Aulenhausen , Dietenhausen, Ernsthausen, Laimbach, Langenbach, Laubuseschbach, Lützendorf, Möttau, Rohnstadt and Wolfenhausen voluntarily joined the new large community of Weilmünster. Essershausen was added on December 31, 1971. For all twelve formerly independent municipalities, local districts with local advisory councils and local councilors were formed in accordance with the Hessian municipal code.
