History
The ancient Romans (who occupied Germany between 50 B.C. and 475 AD) called the places where water emerged from underground Aqua Saltare (Latin for 'dancing water'). This name was applied to the town and then borrowed into German as Selters. Franks formally settled in the area as early as 500 AD, and was mentioned by writing for the first time in 1317 as Selters an der Lahn.
The Laneberg castle, built in the capital of the Löhnberg region, was constructed by John, Count of Nassau-Dillenburg between 1321 and 1324. The castle ruins are unusual in surviving, as most buildings burned down in a fire in 1538.
Selters later received a parish in 1694, led by pastor Johann Bosen. Being made out of wood, the church was later damaged during another fire in 1706, leading pastor J. G. Haybach to build a new church, which began construction in 1731 by carpenter J. A. Klöckner.
In 1815, the town straddled the border of the Duchy of Nassau and the Kingdom of Prussia. The town was part of the Wetzlar district in Prussia and bordered Braunfels in the neighboring Rhine Province until 1932, when borders in Germany were redrawn.
In 1974, municipal reform in Hesse required that Selters join the Löhnberg municipality.
