Oberreifenberg, Mountain settlement district in Schmitten im Taunus, Germany

Located at an elevation of 605 meters, Oberreifenberg extends across 3.83 square kilometers of forested terrain in the Taunus mountain range.

The first documented mention of Reifenberg Castle dates back to 1331, marking the beginning of settlement development in this elevated region.

The St. Gertrudis Chapel, constructed between 1710 and 1711, houses the remains of the last knight from the Wetterauer lineage of Reifenberg.

The Fritz Emmel Youth Hostel, established in 1974, provides accommodation for groups visiting the Taunus mountains throughout the year.

The district coat of arms displays three diagonal red stripes on a silver background, representing the ancient Reifenberg noble family.
