In the 1970s, a city was conceived and founded in Hesse to strengthen the region of Central Hesse against Frankfurt in the south and Kassel in the north. However, the initiative did not come from the region, but was conceived and decided in the state parliament in Wiesbaden. The result was a large city whose inhabitants did not identify with it and which was therefore doomed to failure.

The lecture will take a closer look at the history of the creation and disintegration of the city of Lahn. The focus will be on the mistakes of the failed regional reform, but the opportunities for the region will also be considered and a draft for a second attempt will be presented.
