Towards its south, Staudt stretches to the 286-metre-high slope of the mountain Am Hähnchen, whereas from east to west, the community's area spreads out into a 265-metre-high plain.

Since 1972 the community has belonged to what was then the newly founded Verbandsgemeinde of Wirges – a kind of collective municipality – whose seat is in the like-named town.

More precisely, the document was about rental paid in grain, oats and chickens within the Bann (an administrative unit) of Montabaur, wherein also lay Staudt.

The villages were obliged to do labour, that is to say, the people were unfree, counted as “goods”, and went by any sale or exchange into the new lord's ownership.

The Amt administrator, Court Council Linz reported the following in 1786: “The inhabitants of the Bann of Wirges show themselves to be sensible, are hardworking (that is to say enterprising), and yet docile, love foreigners, are at home thrifty to the point of miserliness and at the inn wasteful to the point of showing off; can be called more cleanly than uncleanly.”From the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806 until the Austro-Prussian War in 1866, the community – at the time fighting on Austria’s side – belonged to the newly founded Duchy of Nassau.

Limburg an der Lahn and Koblenz are each twenty minutes’ drive away, and Cologne and Frankfurt may be reached in one hour.

The origin lies in the fact that when surnames came into being – at least as they are known today – it was, among other things, customary to assign people to their home towns or villages.

In the early to mid-19th century in America many families changed the surname of Staudt to Stout, which is a phonetic spelling based on the American pronunciation.

To Staudt belong several ponds (Weiher) lying south of the village, namely Schräderweiher, Weberweiher, Ochsenheide, Birkenweiher, Fussenweiher and the Morschenweiher, which in droughts becomes nothing more than a muddy pool.
