Lahr in the Hunsrück is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Kastellaun.
The municipality lies on a high plateau in the northern Hunsrück between the Lützbach valley to the east and the Dünnbach valley to the west.
Lahr’s neighbours are Zilshausen, 2 km away, Lieg, 3 km away and Mörsdorf, 4 km away.
The Counts of Sponheim enfeoffed Kuno von Pyrmont with holdings and an estate in Lahr in 1438. The estate was under Pyrmont ownership in 1468. Friedrich von Pyrmont sold it in 1472 to Hanns von Lare. In 1790, the Counts of Hildesheim were listed as the landholders. Lahr belonged to the “three-lord” high court of Beltheim, which was shared by the Electorate of Trier, Pfalz-Zweibrücken (heirs of the Counts of Sponheim) and the lordship of Metternich-Winneburg-Beilstein (heirs of the Lords of Braunshorn). In 1773, Lahr belonged to the Amt of Baldeneck. In a 1780 partition agreement, Lahr passed together with Beltheim and other places to the Electorate of Trier and thereafter belonged to the Electoral-Trier Amt of Baldeneck and the Court of Beltheim.
In 1784, a chapel in Saint Oranna’s honour was built on the spot formerly occupied by an older chapel. The congregation belonged to the parish of Lütz in the rural chapter of Kaimt-Zell and in the archdeaconry of Karden.
