Kirn

Kirn is a metropolis in the Bad Kreuznach district in Rheinland Pfalz, Germany. It does now not lie inside any Verbandsgemeinde, even though it is the seat of the Verbandsgemeinde of Kirn Land. Kirn is a middle centre serving an area on the Nahe and inside the Hunsruck. The metropolis of Kirn can appearance returned on a very lengthy history. It was based at a river crossing close to which several roads met. On 20 May 841, Kirn had its first documentary point out in a report from Fulda Abbey.

Archaeological finds from Celtic and Roman times the remnants of a villa rustica have been unearthed within the part of town called Uber Nahe, but, point to a substantially extra age than that. The call Kirn is assumed to be of Celtic origin. In the Fulda record stated above, the town changed into named as Chira. The name probably derives from the Celtic kyr that means water. Meant here, of direction, would be the Nahe and the Hahnenbach, which empties into it right here, whose water apparently gave the town its call.
