Waldems
Waldems (German pronunciation: [ˈvaltˌɛms]) is a municipality in the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis in the Regierungsbezirk of Darmstadt in Hesse, Germany. The municipality's administrative seat is Waldems-Esch.
Waldems is located in the Taunus in a widely wooded setting at the northwest foot of the Feldberg massif at 250 to 629.3 m above sea level, the southern hilltop of the mountain Windhain, which is the highest point of the district Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis, rising east of the constituent municipality of Wüstems.
Waldems is the easternmost municipality in the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis and borders in the northeast on the municipality of Weilrod, in the east on the municipality of Schmitten, in the southeast on the municipality of Glashütten (all three in the Hochtaunuskreis), in the south and west on the town of Idstein (Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis) and in the northwest on the town of Bad Camberg (Limburg-Weilburg).
The municipality's six Ortsteile are Bermbach, Esch (administrative seat), Niederems (with Reinborn), Reichenbach, Steinfischbach and Wüstems.
Although traces of settlement go far back, the current places in the municipality go back to clearing in Frankish times.
The first of the constituent communities to have a documentary mention was Bermbach, which was named as Barenbach in a document from the Lorsch codex in 772. For many centuries this was borderland; the Limes ran nearby, and later, the Electoral Mainz's, Hesse's and Nassau's spheres of influence all came up against each other here. From 1276 to 1570 the village was bound to the noble family of the Lords of Bermbach. Later, Bermbach was mentioned in connection with the persecution of witches and the legendary Schinderhannes (1801).
The constituent municipality of Esch goes back to a settlement from the 6th century, having had its first documentary mention as Eschze in the rent register of the archive deacon at Dietkirchen. Esch lies at the junction of the ancient Frankfurt-Limburg-Cologne trade road and the linking road between the Rhine and the Wetterau, and thereby always had a high traffic volume.
The story of how Niederems came to be can be traced back to 1274. Through hunger, pestilence and wars, the population figure was always very low. In particular, the Thirty Years' War reduced the number of households considerably.
