Hofgut Gassenbach

The Hofgut Gassenbach spans over 100 hectares of agricultural land, featuring a four-sided farmstead with former farmhouse and multiple stables at the southern edge of Idstein.

In 1812, the estate established the first agricultural school in western Germany, under director Wilhelm Albrecht, to test and spread new farming methods.

The estate functions as a workplace for individuals from Kalmenhof disability workshop, integrating agricultural production with social support programs.

The City of Idstein negotiates with the Landeswohlfahrtsverband Hessen to acquire the property and preserve its partially protected buildings for future development.

The estate connects to a planned pathway system along Wörsbach stream, linking Idstein's old town to green spaces and fields near the southern tangent.
