History
The city of Dieburg was first named in 1492 in the tax books of the archbishopric Hessen-Nassau. The city's name is derived from the Middle High German words diot, meaning "people," and burg, meaning "castle." Dieburg therefore refers to the castle of the people, located in the city center. The Dieburg Museum, located in the Fechenbach stately home, displays archeological findings onwards. Of special interest is a Relief of Mithras and a dyer's workshop.
