The Hochtaunuskreis is often referred to as the "Green Lung" of Frankfurt's Rhine-Main metropolitan area. Located in the heart of Hesse, it offers a sophisticated blend of exclusive lifestyle, unspoilt nature and deep historical roots.

A glimpse into history



The history of the region is a fascinating timeline of Roman defense and Prussian luxury.

The Romans and the Limes


The district is bisected by the Limes, the ancient border of the Roman Empire. Saalburg, a reconstructed Roman fort, is today a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Royal retreats


In the 19th century, Bad Homburg vor der Höhe became a world-renowned spa destination for European royalty and the Russian aristocracy. This legacy of "imperial" history is still visible in the city's majestic architecture.
