Butzbach

The central market square of Butzbach features timber-framed buildings that stand four to five stories tall, creating a traditional German architectural landscape.

The area shows evidence of continuous settlement since 3500 BC, with Romans establishing a garrison in 83 AD near the current town location.

The Wendlin Chapel, recognized as the oldest half-timbered church in Hesse, stands at the southern end of Weiseler Street, dating from the 15th century.

Located 35 kilometers north of Frankfurt and 16 kilometers south of Giessen, Butzbach covers an area of 106 square kilometers at 199 meters elevation.

The Schrenzer hill, rising to 385 meters, provides an observation point over Butzbach and contains the remains of a Roman watchtower from the 1st century.
