Niederroßbach is the smallest district of Haiger in the Hessian Lahn-Dill district .

geography

Niederroßbach is located six kilometers northeast of Haiger on the Rossbach that gives it its name. State road 3044 runs through the village .

history

The village was first mentioned in documents in 1355.

In 1558 the St. David mine near Niederroßbach is mentioned. This is possibly identical to the Aurora mine mentioned in 1757 , a mine that extracted lead, copper and silver. How many local workers found employment there is not certain. Today the street name Aurorastraße still reminds of the old mine.

In 1939 the place belonged to the Dill district and had 318 inhabitants.

Territorial reform

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipalities of Niederroßbach and Oberroßbach voluntarily merged on October 1, 1971 to form the municipality of Roßbachtal , which was incorporated into the city of Haiger on January 1, 1977 by state law. Niederroßbach and Oberroßbach became districts of Haiger. Local districts were not formed.
