Bischoffen
Bischoffen (German pronunciation: [ˈbɪʃɔfn̩]) is a municipality in the Lahn-Dill-Kreis in Hesse, Germany.
Bischoffen lies in the Lahn-Dill Highland at the Aar Dam (Aartalsperre). This dam holds back the river Aar, a tributary to the Dill, forming a 57-ha lake whose purpose is mainly flood control, although of course it also has its recreational uses.
Lying among the villages of Bischoffen (itself a constituent municipality, and indeed the municipality's namesake, but not the biggest centre therein), Oberweidbach, Roßbach, Mudersbach and Ahrdt, Niederweidbach is found right on the shore of the Aartalsee, the man-made lake created by the Aar Dam. It is also on the stretch of Federal Highway (Bundesstraße) B 255 between Herborn and Gladenbach.
Bischoffen borders in the north on the municipality of Bad Endbach and the town of Gladenbach, in the east on the municipality of Lohra (all three in Marburg-Biedenkopf), in the southeast on the municipality of Biebertal (Gießen district), in the south on the municipality of Hohenahr, in the southwest on the municipality of Mittenaar, and in the west on the municipality of Siegbach (all three in the Lahn-Dill-Kreis).
The municipality consists of the centres of Bischoffen, Niederweidbach, Oberweidbach, Roßbach and Wilsbach.
Niederweidbach is Bischoffen's biggest municipality, and its administrative seat.
Niederweidbach and Oberweidbach were mentioned in the Fulda Monastery's Codex Eberhardi quite early on, in 802. The other municipalities' first documentary mentions followed lin the late 13th or early 14th century. The villages belonged to various ecclesiastical and secular rulers, but a great deal of the current municipal area came to be part of the County of Solms as time went by, through estate division, pledges and feuds.
