    This tower was part of the city wall built since the city was founded in 1352. It can be seen behind the moated castle in the earliest depiction of Hofheim …

    Originally the bailiff lived here. This circumstance gave the tower the name "Büttelturm". The building served as a synagogue (prayer room) from 1795 at the earliest. It was devastated during the pogrom night on November 9th, 1938. The half-timbered houses on both sides of the tower date from the 17th and 18th centuries. They were renovated in the early 1980s. In 1983 a wine bar opened in the tower with the adjoining half-timbered house.
