Ehrenbach is a village, first mentioned in 1371, that became in 1971 part of Idstein, Hesse, Germany.

Location

[edit | edit source]

It is located southwest of Idstein in the Ehrenbach valley. The Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes borders it in the south. The highest point is the Scheid mountain (472 m high=, in the north-west. The district road (Kreisstraße) K 707 connects Ehrenbach with the B 417 in the south-west and Idstein and the Bundesautobahn 3 in the north-east.

History

[edit | edit source]

Ehrenbach was first mentioned in a document in 1371, as Ernbach.[2] A 1475 document (Weistum) of the Auroffer Grund named Nassau-Idstein (de) as ruler of two Ehrenbach. In 1566, the village had twelve households (Hausgesess (de)), and in 1609 ten households.[2]

In 1971, the independent village decided, together with two other settlements, to become part of Idstein.[3] The Stadtteil became a Ortsbezirk with elected representatives (Ortsbeirat (de), headed by the Ortsvorsteher (de), according to the Hessische Gemeindeordnung (de).[4] Since 1977, Idstein has been part of the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis. In 2011, the 2011 German census counted 291 inhabitants, 24 of them foreigners (8,2 %), living in 132 households.[5][6]

Buildings

[edit | edit source]

Ehrenbach features many timber-frame buildings (de). The Türmchen, serving as a Protestant church, was restored in 2020. A reconstructed Roman watch tower is part of the Kastell Zugmantel complex of the Limes World Heritage Site.
