    The town hall in Idstein was built in 1698: It has an ideal location, because behind the building runs a rocky outcrop, on which stands the old castle. After being destroyed by a landslide on 14. 2. 1928 it was rebuilt in the years 1932-1934. On 8 November 1947, a fire destroyed the town hall - destroyed primarily the sophisticated equipment of the hall and mayor's room, as well as parts of the staircase. In 1997, basic redevelopment measures were carried out on the ground floor (redesign of the foyer and establishment of a civil office). In addition, the roof rider and the installation of the carillon were renewed on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the town hall.

      The building was constructed with financial support from the local ruler as a bridge over a main road (a pedestrian zone since 1986) and was completed in 1698.

      In historical times, it contained only two offices. The rest of the building housed rooms for the fire engine and the flour scales, a guardroom, a jail cell, the town clerk's apartment, and the granary. The building was severely damaged by a rockfall in 1928 and by fire in 1947.

          The red town hall of Idstein is one of the main sights of the city. A great photo motif and a very nice place for a civil wedding.

                A very beautiful building. Framed by the city gate, the Leaning House, and other beautiful half-timbered houses surrounding the central square. An underpass runs beneath it, housing the public restroom.
