Limbach is about 20 miles SE of Bonn and about 25 miles N of Koblenz right over the border in the Palatinate next to North Rhine/Westphalia.I would hazard a guess that your Thelens are related to the Thelen families that lived in nearby Daun and Adenau which have been there for some time (at least to 1700 as some Thelens from Adenau went to what is now Belgium and this is where they originate).
