The former mining village of Nanzenbach is now part of the Orange town of Dillenburg in the Lahn-Dill district in Central Hesse .

geography

Nanzenbach is located in the northern part of the Lahn-Dill district , approx. 4 km northeast of the Orange city of Dillenburg. The village lies in a narrow side valley of the Dill . Most of the area is forested.

history

Archaeological research suggests a settlement around the turn of the ages.

The place was first mentioned in documents when the house of Nassau was divided in 1255. The place was known for its copper deposits, which were smelted from 1464 onwards. In addition to copper, basalt and iron ore were also mined.

In a fire in 1772, the place was almost completely destroyed. A total of five houses were spared from the fire. With the support of the neighboring villages, Nanzenbach was rebuilt. The construction was carried out according to the plan of the master builder Terlinden from Princely Dillenburg . The plan provided for a long main street with short cross streets. Before the fire, the houses on the main street with the gables faced each other. According to the new construction plan, it was planned that the houses would now be built in such a way that the opposite houses could look into the courtyards in order to notice a renewed outbreak of fire more quickly. The half-timbered houses should face the street with the gable and still today usually have the characteristic gable-side entrance that can be reached via a cross staircase. Large contiguous areas of Nanzenbacher Hauptstrasse are protected by the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict .

Territorial reform

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Nanzenbach was incorporated into Dillenburg on April 1, 1972 on a voluntary basis. For the district of Nanzenbach, as for the other incorporated, formerly independent places, a local district with a local advisory board and local councilor was formed.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of Nanzenbach with oak branches, miners' counters and wavy bars

Nanzenbach has a coat of arms, designed with the elements: oak branch, mallet and iron as well as a stream. It was designed at the end of the 1970s by Rudi Schäfer from Nanzenbach, a former employee of the city of Dillenburg, after all independent communities were incorporated into the administration of the city of Dillenburg as part of the regional reform in Hesse . The mining historical past of the mining village as well as the natural conditions of the district served as a basis.
