Discover Laudert
Accommodation in Laudert
Laudert can be explored through two particular interests: the Oberes Simmerbachtal Nature Trail and the history of the village. The hiking trail connects woodland landscapes, information boards and expansive views on a circular route around Laudert and Kisselbach. Churches, an archaeological earthwork, a museum and an extensive village chronicle offer other points of interest. This gives you the option of deciding whether nature on the circular trail or historic buildings and collections should shape your plans for your stay.
Hiking the Oberes Simmerbachtal Nature Trail
The intermunicipal hiking trail, funded by LEADER, officially opened in May 2021. The nature trail is a circular route of about 14 kilometres around Laudert and Kisselbach; its starting point is at the Laudert sports field. You can factor its approximate length into your travel plans. Check current trail conditions and signage before setting out.
Ten information boards are placed along the nature trail, explaining features of the surrounding natural environment. Their topics range from flora and fauna to woodland landscapes and bird species. The route includes various woodland landscapes as well as the meadows along the Simmerbach. It also offers expansive views across Kisselbach and Laudert. The trail thus combines nature information along the way with a variety of landscape impressions; the boards may change over time.
Buildings and History in Laudert
The religious buildings are worth a closer look for their different dates of origin. St. Remigius Church was built in 1926 to plans by Mainz architects Becker and Falkowski. From the outset, Catholics from both of Laudert’s former districts attended the church. Remigius Chapel has an older history: it was rebuilt and consecrated in 1681. Its bell gable is considered very rare in western Germany.
The Alte Burg lies north of Laudert. It is a motte-like fortified earthwork and a protected archaeological monument zone. Its described features include two artificial ramparts, a moat, a mound and rectangular ditches. Unlike the religious buildings, the focus here is the form of a fortified site. Its protected status and individual terrain features give this place its own historical character.
Museum and Village Chronicle
The local museum brings together a collection of more than 600 antique chamber pots with old household items and toys. It also features a spinning and weaving room styled after bygone times, as well as courses in teddy-bear making and spinning. The collection, room design and courses offer different ways to explore everyday objects and crafts.
The village chronicle offers a comprehensive look at Laudert’s past and present. It was presented in 2014 and comprises about 800 pages, 42 maps, 94 illustrations and 732 photographs. Maps and visual material complement the extensive text, making the chronicle a distinct resource on local history. Together with the museum and buildings, these provide several different points of interest: historical documentation, collections and the history of individual places and buildings.
