Here is an interesting information sign Leunabrücke - View of the industrial park Downstream on the Main, the eastern part of the Höchst industrial park can be seen. In the south of the area, which covers over four square kilometers, research and logistics are located, while in the older northern factory area, production, administration, and infrastructure are situated. An important connecting artery is the central factory bridge, which has spanned the Main since 1959. To the right rise the chimneys of the gas power plant completed in 2023. Immediately to the right of the bridge, you will see the fully automated river water plant, which was commissioned in 2023. Leunabrücke - View of the Höchst district Above the redesigned banks of the Main rises the old town of Höchst. Striking landmarks include the castle, resting on medieval foundations with its slender keep, the customs tower, and the Bolongaro Palace, built in the second half of the 18th century. From the Carolingian era dates the oldest preserved sacred building north of the Alps in its entirety, St. Justin's Church, built between 830 and 850.

The historic town hall was built in 1479 on the remains of Gothic city gates. Its history is closely intertwined with the history of the town of Oberursel. In 1444, the market town of Oberursel was granted city rights. Trade developed rapidly, and the number of citizens grew steadily. In 1481, the city walls were extended to include a new part of the town—the "valley." After fulfilling its military function, the town hall was built on the reclaimed site of the "Lower Gate" of the first city wall. At this juncture between the old and new towns, it became a visible testament to the self-confidence of the free citizens. Moreover, the building was centrally located on the newly created market square. In the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War, the town hall burned down for the first time in 1622. Although plans for its reconstruction existed as early as 1629, they could not be realized during the Thirty Years' War. In 1645, the temporary building erected in its place was burned down again, along with almost the entire town. The town hall was rebuilt in 1659, though on a smaller scale than originally planned in 1629. The interior was completed in 1663. A jail cell, known as the "Betzelkammer," was installed at its base, beneath the staircase. This cell could accommodate 20 prisoners. In 1702, a sundial was added to the town hall; during the 1933/34 renovation, an inscription was added. Above the town hall's entrance is a Baroque replica of the town's coat of arms from the 15th/18th centuries. On September 27, 1980, the renovated council chamber was reopened. Since then, the council chamber, with its beautiful wainscoting, has been available for special civic events and weddings.
