Timbered houses, the local historical museum, Ursel creek, small ponds and charming winding alleys invite you for a stroll through a fascinating past.
The "historical round route" takes you along picturesque corners and buildings of the old town. Much attention has been paid to the details, and a considerable financial support was provided to restore a large amount of buildings that have been threatened to deterioate from the 70s on. After extensive restoration, today the old town creates a very special atmosphere; next to modern residences you find cosy restaurants, shops and various cultural events.
Oberursel is called "the town of fountains": Every year, a fountain queen is elected and the “Brunnenfest” (Fountain Festival) , which takes place on the weekend after Whitsuntide, is one of the most widely celebrated events during the whole year. It is quite obvious that the fountains are in the center of attention!
Studying our mills you will learn a lot about nature and the industrial history of Oberursel.
