history

The property was first mentioned in a document dated March 28, 1333 under the name Lonebach - in a document that records feudal decisions of the von Hain family. It is assumed, however, that there was already a property at this location on an important north-south old street , Eisenstraße, in the Franconian - Carolingian times. The next documentary mention of the Lahnhof took place in the year 1336, according to the Siegener document book, when a "political conference" was documented in Lanebach in front of the Patschozer Walde , in which Count Otto von Nassau, Provost Heinrich von Speyer and Count Siegfried von Wittgenstein had participated .

In the late 16th century, the Lahnhof was a count's farm yard, to which 17 meadows belonged according to a list of fiefdoms ; Pension bills from the Principality of Nassau-Siegen for the New Löhn-Hoff also exist from the 18th century . After 1807 the Lahnhof was incorporated into Nenkersdorf. In 1818 there were 12 residents in the Nenkersdorf-Lahnhof domain. After 1820 the old forester's house Lahnhof , which was believed to have risen in the basement of the Lahn, was demolished and replaced around 1828 by the construction of a two-story forest house with farm buildings.

Due to its pristine nature and the excellent view when the weather is nice, the Lahnhof has been a popular excursion destination for over 100 years.
