Leuterod
Leuterod is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde – in the Westerwaldkreis in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
Leuterod's immediate neighbours are Moschheim in the southeast, Ötzingen in the northeast, Siershahn in the west, and Wirges in the southwest.
Together with the first two municipalities named above, Leuterod borders in the east on the Malberg, whose elevation of 422 m above sea level makes it the most notable feature on the landscape north of Montabaur. The river Aubach divides the municipality into two zones (Bereiche in German): the Unterdorf (“Lower Village”) and the Insel (“Island”). The municipality belongs to the Wirges Verbandsgemeinde (the municipal association of Wirges).
Leuterod's Ortsteile are Leuterod and Hosten.
Leuterod's history reaches very far back. Finds on the Malberg confirm the existence of a Celtic hill fort (a place of worship) built there sometime between 800 and 600 BC.
In 1362, Leuterod had its first documentary mention as Wendel de lutereide. Somewhat earlier, in 1311, the outlying centre of Hosten had been mentioned as Hovesteden. Leuterod and Hosten lay at this time in the parish of Montabaur, whereby the Lords of St. Florin in Koblenz held the tithing rights.
In 1563, 12 “hearths” (Feuerstätten, that is to say, families) were counted in Leuterod. One hundred and twenty years later, owing to the frightful aftermath of the Thirty Years' War, there was only one left. According to Sagas, the municipality was utterly destroyed at this time and then built once more on a different spot. The Altendorfer Weg, according to the saga, is supposedly the road to the village's former site.
Until 1803, Leuterod belonged to the Electorate of Trier, when it passed to the Duchy of Nassau, and thereby also to Prussia in 1866.
