A bronze plaque on the house points to the origin of the soapbox sport in Germany.
A relief praises hiking: "Of all the joys of this world, hiking keeps our hearts alive."

The building, built in 1705 as an office building, is now used to present the prehistory, early history and town history of Oberursel. The exhibition on soapbox sports since the beginning of the century is remarkable. The chronological-historical presentation is divided into eight sections, starting with the first documentary mention of the city in 791. The Hans Thoma memorial attached to the museum commemorates the painter and graphic artist who was a representative of Frankfurt Realism around Wilhelm Leibl. Also worth mentioning is the annual pottery meeting in September with a market from Hesse and the rest of Germany.

At the southern end of the market square stands the beautifully maintained former office building. The "Vortaunusmuseum" is now housed here. The building has a long and varied history. The cellar vault dates from around 1500.
