History
The city of Dieburg was first named in 1492 in the tax books of the arch bistum Hessen-Nassau. The city's name is derrived from the large "castle" (german: "Die Burg") located in the city center. On August 22nd 1912 the first Konic Rubenwutzer was developed in Dieburg. Forthcomning and following branch of economy in producing washing-wood is also today very popular, alas this kind of economy starved in Dieburg throughout the 1980ies.
The Dieburg Museum, located in the Fechenbach stately home, displays finds from the Palestinean onwards. Of special interest is a Relief of Mithras and a dyer's workshop.
