Its composition essentially comprises the former (until 1974) districts of Biedenkopf (today western part of the district of Marburg-Biedenkopf ) and Dillkreis (today north-west of the Lahn-Dill district ), supplemented by the communities of Bischoffen (until 1972 in the district of Biedenkopf). , Hohenahr and Ehringshausen ( old district of Wetzlar ). The municipality of Lohra ( Altkreis Marburg ) was also part of the region and the nature park until 2014, but then withdrew to join the Marburger Land region . The nature park extends over all municipalities in the region since Breidenbach and Dietzhölztal in the north-west, which applied for membership in the nature park in 2008, were accepted after a change in the law in 2017.

Origin of name

The Lahn-Dill-Bergland got its name from the already mentioned rivers Lahn and Dill. The name was derived from the natural area Lahn-Dill-Bergland ( Gladenbacher Bergland ), which, however, has a slightly different surface composition than the region. Since the boundaries of the region correspond to the administrative boundaries of the municipalities involved, some parts of the aforementioned natural area are omitted, while on the other hand parts of the natural areas Dilltal and Hochsauerland (Rothaargebirge) are added. In October 2000, the region was designated as a "Lahn-Dill-Bergland landscape conservation area" by the State of Hesse.

Region Lahn-Dill-Bergland e. V.

The Association Region Lahn-Dill-Bergland e. V. was founded in 1996 by 14 cities and municipalities, as well as a large number of private individuals, companies and associations. As of 2004, 19 cities and municipalities belonged to the association; since 2014, when Lohras left, there are only 18. The association's aim is to promote rural regional development. In 2002 the region was included in a European funding program for rural development (" LEADER + ") and since March 2003 the association has had a full-time regional management team in order to fulfill its role as a funding region. The former member of the state parliament Ernst-Ludwig Wagner acted as regional manager until the beginning of 2013 , who then retired. Marion Klein was his successor. In the meantime, a large number of projects have been launched that serve the development of the region.

In order to strengthen the idea of ​​regional development, the association organizes the Day of the Regions annually in cooperation with the offices for rural areas. This nationwide day of action, which usually takes place on Thanksgiving Sunday, is intended to raise the awareness of the people in the region that they can influence regional development through their own behavior. In 2003, for example, the Day of the Regions was held under the theme “Apple” with the slogan “What does the bee have to do with schnapps?” With a very positive response from the population. In 2005 the day with the topic “Bread” took place under the slogan “From grain to bread” on October 2nd at the Eselsmühle in Lohra. The host is alternately a municipality from the Lahn-Dill district and a municipality from the Marburg-Biedenkopf district.

The following municipalities currently belong to the Lahn-Dill-Bergland e. V. to:
