 Usingen

 Usingen kann auf eine über 1200 Jahre dauernde Stadtgeschichte zurückschauen. Im 14. Jahrhundert fiel der Ort an die Grafen von Nassau, die die Entwicklung der Stadt forcierten und 1527 unter Philipp III. von Nassau-Weilburg die Reformation einführten. Nach dem Dreißigjährigen Krieg erhielt 1659 der Nassauer Fürst Walrad das Usinger Land. Er siedelte Hugenotten an und ließ dazu die Usinger „Neustadt“ in seiner Fürstenresidenz aufbauen: die symmetrischen Straßenzüge sind heute noch erkennbar, ebenso sind repräsentative Bürgerhäuser erhalten. Die Usinger Hugenotten waren Handwerker, es gab z.B. eine Strumpffabrik. Die 1700 errichtete Hugenottenkirche mit dem alten Marktplatz zeigt in ihrem Baustil Gemeinsamkeiten mit dem bekannten Gotteshaus von La Rochelle in Frankreich. Heute sind dort die Stadtbücherei und das Standesamt untergebracht.
