Fronhausen
Fronhausen is a municipality in the south of Marburg-Biedenkopf district in the administrative region of Gießen in Hessen, Germany. The municipal area stretches along the district's southern boundary in the Lahn valley and its environs between Marburg and Gießen, and borders in the north on the municipality of Weimar, in the east on the municipality of Ebsdorfergrund, in the south on the towns of Staufenberg and Lollar, and in the west on the municipality of Lohra. It was formed out of seven former municipalities in the early 1970s as part of Hessen's municipal reforms at that time.

Coat of arms
Coat of arms
The civic coat of arms might be described thus: In gules a bend sinister wavy argent; above, a wing argent; below, seven lozenges argent. The arms were chosen from many proposals put forth after the greater municipality was formed. The bend sinister (the band) stands for the river Lahn, which flows through the municipality. The wing comes from the historic Fronhausen reeves' arms, and the lozenges from the Stewards (Schenken) of Schweinsberg, who were formerly the local nobility; the number of lozenges – seven – also represents the number of constituent municipalities.
