Walderdorffer Hof w Bensheim, Timber-framed cultural heritage monument in Bensheim, Germany.

Walderdorffer Hof is a timber-frame house in Bensheim's old town, considered the oldest surviving half-timbered building in southern Hesse. Dendrochronological dating of thirteen oak and softwood samples in 2000 showed the oaks were felled in the winter of 1394–1395, so the house was completed in 1395. Its beams, horizontal and vertical, are joined in the medieval manner, with many features of the transition period in timber-frame construction. The ground floor now houses a restaurant, and the upper floor serves as the clubhouse of the heritage association Oald Bensem.

Dendrochronological testing in 2000 dated the oak timber to trees felled in the winter of 1394–1395, so the house was completed in 1395. It was originally a burgher's house; its owner Paul Guttes sold it around 1580 to the lords of Walderdorff. Around 1630 it passed to the lords of Gemmingen, and around 1710 to the lords of Überbruck and Rodenstein, who later sold it back to Bensheim citizens. The city acquired it in 1964.

The building shows the craft tradition of timber-frame construction as it developed in Bensheim over centuries. Walking through and around it, you can see how local artisans built homes and how families lived in such structures.

The building sits on Obergasse in Bensheim's town center and is easily reached on foot. You can view it from outside and visit the restaurant on the lower level to experience the interior of this historic structure.

Scientific study of the wooden beams revealed that the timber was cut during the winter of 1394 to 1395. This analysis confirmed the building truly originates from the late 1300s, supporting what had been long suspected.
