Nenderoth is a district of the municipality of Greifenstein in the Lahn-Dill district in Central Hesse .

geography

location

The village is located on the upper reaches of the Kallenbach between the mountains Knie (605 m) and Kahlenberg (405 m) in the Westerwald .

The district covers an area of ​​605 ha and is traversed by two bodies of water, the Kallenbach and the Leyenbach. About half is covered with forest. The rest is divided into agricultural areas (250 ha), courtyard and building areas, roads and paths.

climate

Topologically, Nenderoth still belongs to the Westerwald, but climatically it differs significantly from it due to the south-facing slope and the opening to the Lahn valley . This is also reflected in the vegetation . Because of this special climate, Nenderoth is also called the Nice of the Westerwald . It used to be said that it was always a “rock warmer” in Nenderoth than in the neighboring villages of Arborn and Odersberg .

history

The place name is derived from Nantherisrode , which means "clearing a Nandhari". The place was first mentioned in a document in 993. In the Middle Ages, Nenderoth became the center of the " Kalenberger Zent " and in 1310 received its own jurisdiction from the Lords of Merenberg . A hall that was attached to the church served as a place of justice.

Due to the effects of the war and political changes, Nenderoth gradually lost its importance. The residents found the only way to earn a living in agriculture. But here, too, a change has occurred. In the 1970s, tourism developed as an industry for a short time. During this time, Nenderoth took part repeatedly in the competition “ Our village should be more beautiful ” and received several awards at state and federal level. Today the place has essentially become a pure " residential community ". Until the late 1980s, the place had about 420 to 430 inhabitants. Due to the influx of resettlers and repatriates or asylum seekers, the number of residents has meanwhile increased to approx. 550 people. There are currently 425 residents.

Territorial reform

Nenderoth was the southernmost municipality in the old Dill district and was independent until the end of 1976. On January 1, 1977, in the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality with the previously independent municipalities of Greifenstein, Arborn , Beilstein , Odersberg and Ulmtal became a new large municipality through the law on the reorganization of the Dill district, the districts of Gießen and Wetzlar and the city of Gießen Greifenstein merged . For Nenderoth, as for all formerly independent communities, a local district was formed with a local advisory board and local councilor . The local part of Beilstein became the seat of the municipal administration.

Attractions

In the center of the village is the old church from the 13th century, which was built as a fortified church. In the immediate vicinity is the old bakery with the local history museum. The bakery is still functional and is used by the “Nenderother Heimatstube” association several times a year. As a special scenic attraction you will find next to the node as the highest mountain of the southern Westerwald in the immediate vicinity a charming waterfall of the Leyenbach, as well as the “Sauerborn” on the left bank of the Kallenbach. From there in the direction of Johannisburg there was a 1000-year-old oak until summer 2012.
