Angelburg
Angelburg (German pronunciation: [ˈaŋl̩bʊʁk]) is a municipality in western Marburg-Biedenkopf in northwest Middle Hesse in Germany.
The municipality is found about 12 km south of Biedenkopf in the Gansbach valley north of the Schelder Wald (forest), whose north end consists of the Angelburg Mountain (609 m above sea level) with its television transmitter.
The municipality is bounded on the north and east by Steffenberg. Bad Endbach's municipal area borders with Angelburg's constituent municipality of Bottenhorn, likewise in the east. In the south, Angelburg's municipal area abuts Siegbach, and in the west Eschenburg, both in the Lahn-Dill district.
The municipality consists of the following places:
The municipality of Angelburg began its life between 1972 and 1974 within the framework of Hessian municipal reform.
The municipality of Lixfeld has a history stretching back at least to the Middle Ages. It was mentioned in the Codex Eberhardi, a compilation by a monk in Fulda in the twelfth century, and the mention was attested to by a later document, dating from 1238. This was Lixfeld's first documentary mention.
At that time, the village was also known as Lixfeld, but it has undergone several name changes over the centuries, having been known as Lykisvelt or Litzfeld, but now once again Lixfeld.
Lixfeld was part of the Wittengestein landholdings. Digs on the Kirchberg have revealed that sometime in the 9th or 10th century, a castle with a tower was built in the glen overlooking the old road. Lixfeld was also one of the oldest seats of an early mediaeval court of law and enjoyed something of a heyday at that time. The local Imperial count moved into the castle and held court under a great linden tree with the local freemen. The castle's masters also forced merchants using the road down below to pay tolls. Charcoal works were set up in the forests, and in the dales, bloomeries and smithies were busy smelting and working iron.
