geography
Zollhaus is located in the Taunus in the Aar valley . In Zollhaus, the Palmbach coming from Burgschwalbach and the Schliembach flow into the Aar.
history
Zollhaus was mentioned in 1576 as a customs post of Mudershausen in the Burgschwalbach office, Nassau Idstein . For about 300 years until 1816 there was a customs border in Zollhaus. A customs house ( location ) existed until 1898 when it was destroyed by fire. From 1945 the border between the French and American occupation zones ran through Zollhaus .
From the 13th century until 1960 there was extensive iron ore mining west of Zollhaus, most recently in the Zollhaus mine .
Around 1900 Zollhaus had 180 inhabitants and 600 employees in the various industrial plants and mines.
Because they belonged to four local parishes , the dead were buried in Zollhaus in four different cemeteries. The school-age children went to four different elementary schools. Since the 1920s, the children alternated between schooling in Burgschwalbach and Hahnstätten. Efforts to form an independent community have so far failed. Such efforts existed in 1888, 1894, 1927, 1938 and for the last time in 1988. In order to better represent the interests of the residents of Zollhaus, the Zollhaus interest group was founded in 1951 , which invites the four local mayors and the mayor of the community to attend an annual citizens' meeting .

Catholic Church Customs House
The Catholic Church of the Conception of Mary in Zollhaus was built between 1925 and 1929. The catchment area of the church includes the surrounding places that do not have a Catholic church themselves, as the majority of the population of this area is Protestant . Instead of an older chapel that was demolished in 1947/48, the rectory was built.

The reactivation of the line to Diez was aimed at by the Rhineland-Palatinate state government from 2008, but in July 2016 it was decided to reactivate the line only between Diez and Hahnstätten; the plans for the section between Hahnstätten and Zollhaus were discarded.

The iron-containing water of the Johannisbrunnen was collected in 1882 and sold mainly overseas under the Johannis brand (The King of natural tablewater) . A bottling plant, under English management from around 1890 to 1914, later owned by Apollinaris , which existed in Zollhaus, filled the water first in stone jugs and later in glass bottles. The Johannisbrunnen was shut down in the 1940s. Römerquelle and Johannisquelle are both in the area of the local community Burgschwalbach.
