Weroth is an Ortsgemeinde – a community belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde – in the Westerwaldkreis in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

Geography

The community lies in the Westerwald between Montabaur and Limburg an der Lahn. Weroth lies 290 m above sea level. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Wallmerod, a kind of collective municipality. Its seat is in the like-named town.

In 1322, Weroth had its first documentary mention.

The council is made up of 11 council members who were elected in a majority vote in a municipal election on 13 June 2004.

Right nearby to the community’s north runs Bundesstraße 8, leading from Limburg an der Lahn to Hennef. The nearest Autobahn interchange is Diez on the A 3 (Cologne–Frankfurt), some 4 km away. The nearest InterCityExpress stop is the railway station at Montabaur on the Cologne-Frankfurt high-speed rail line.

Saint Sebastian’s Day on 20 January is to this day still a holiday in Weroth, as the community was spared a Plague epidemic.

Likewise held every year is the Live-Rock-Festival at the Bürgerhaus on Kirmesfreitag (“Kermis Friday”)
