Donkey Riders on the Road to Nassau.

German Geography: Nassau, former duchy, West central Germany, situated N and E of the Main and Rhine rivers. It is now mostly included in the state of Hesse , and partly in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate . Wiesbaden was the capital; other towns included the mineral spas of Bad Homburg, Bad Schwalbach, and Schlangenbad in the beautiful Taunus hills and Bad Ems on the Lahn River. The region takes its name from the small town of Nassau, on the Lahn E of Ems, where the original castle of the house of Nassau was built in the early 12th century by a count of Laurenburg. His descendants took the title count of Nassau. In 1255 the dynasty split into two main lines and divided the territory in half. In 1806, Nassau, which had received some territorial additions, joined the Confederation of the Rhine and was raised to a duchy.
