City of Offenbach

From the moated castle to the Citytower - a journey through time on the cultural route through Offenbach's city center

Published by Praeludium e. V. with the authors Angelika Amborn Morgenstern and Leonore Blume. The price is 9,90 €.

On a route through the "old Offenbach" city center, Offenbach's development from an insignificant farming village in the shadow of Frankfurt to a residence and industrial city to an economically interesting service location in the Rhine-Main region can become an adventure on the spot. The journey through time begins on the Maindamm in front of the castle and ends again directly in front of it on the banks of the Main on the Kulturgleis. Here the circle closes and opens up new perspectives for the cultural development of Offenbach. Between the moated castle with its static fortified towers and the Citytower with its light-flooded office complexes lie 600 years of exciting local history.
