Aarbergen is a community in the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis
in the Regierungsbezirk
of Darmstadt
in Hesse
, Germany
.
south of Limburg an der Lahn
and between the Taunus
ridge and the river Lahn
in the Lower Taunus, or western Hintertaunus (“Hinder Taunus”).
The community is found in the low mountain landscape in the western Hintertaunus, which is part of the Rheinisches Schiefergebirge
(Rhenish Slate
Mountains). The heights are characterized by a pronounced peak-and-trough surface relief, parts of which show formations from deep in the ground (kaolin). The surface relief had valleys carved deeply into it in the Quaternary
by the Aar
and its tributaries. Underground, the rock is formed mainly out of the Rhenish Slate Mountains’ Lower Devonian
shale

sandstone
and quartzite
. On top are found, often several metres deep, great layers of periglacial
deposits much of which contains carbonate
-free to weakly carbonate loess
loam

shingle
(Vallendar facies
) overlies the older surface near Kettenbach and Hausen über Aar.
Well known in professional circles are the occurrences of soil erosion (gullies and similar channels) in broad parts of the community which began in historical times. The landscape in the community’s municipal area is characterized by the middle Aar valley with its side valleys. The greater part of the municipal area is wooded. The main land use in open areas is field crops. In the valleys is meadowland, sometimes with scenically valuable meadow orchard
s (Streuobstwiesen). The Aubach, the Aar’s biggest tributary, empties into that river within community limits, as does the Bettenbach.

Hausen über Aar likewise had its first documentary mention in 879, when it belonged to the Niederlohngau and found its way into the ownership of St. Severus’s Monastery in Kettenbach, which in the same year was moved to Gemünden
in the Westerwald
. Later, Hausen über Aar had two lords and as of 1806 belonged to the Duchy of Nassau.
With the consecration of St. Severus’s Monastery in 845, the village of Kettenbach was founded by Gebhard, Count of the Lahngau
and had its first documentary mention. Some time about 1000, the County of Diez grew out of the Niederlahngau. Over the centuries, Kettenbach had various owners and ended up in 1771 wholly in Nassau’s hands.
