Nassau-Dillenburg

Nassau-Dillenburg was a historical principality in what is now Germany, existing from the early 16th to the early 19th century. It was part of the larger Nassau family territories and centered around the town of Dillenburg. The region was ruled by a branch of the House of Nassau, which played a significant role in European history, including the Dutch independence movement and the Holy Roman Empire. Nassau-Dillenburg was influential regionally, with its rulers involved in political, military, and cultural affairs until it was dissolved and merged into larger German states in the 19th century.
