Vincenzhaus Hofheim, Heritage monument in Hofheim am Taunus, Germany

The Vincenzhaus is a large timber-framed building on Eschenstraße 29, designed by architect Max Meckel and completed in 1888. It now serves as an educational facility providing specialized learning and care services for children and young people.

The central building was erected between 1880 and 1888 to a design by Max Meckel, and the children's recreation home opened in 1888. The Dernbach Sisters took over in 1892 and also admitted orphans. From 1924 it served as a recovery home for sick mothers and children, and from 1947 as an infants' home. Since 1955 it has been a remedial-education institution of child and youth welfare.

The building was designed by Max Meckel in a historicist half-timbered style and opened in 1888 as a children's recreation home. From 1892 the Dernbach Sisters ran it and also took in orphans. Since 1955 it has been a special-education institution of child and youth welfare, now run by the Caritas Association Frankfurt.

The building is visible from the public street and can be observed from Eschenstraße. Keep in mind that this is an active facility, so access to interior spaces may be limited or require prior arrangement.

The site's roots reach back to 1888, when it opened as a recreation home for children; the Dernbach Sisters took it over in 1892 and also admitted orphans. Since 1955 it has run as a special-education youth welfare institution, and since 1999 it has included a therapeutic residential group for children with experiences of family abuse plus its own school for grades 1 to 10.
