It was built in 1782 as the office building of Friedberg Castle. Once the seat of the "free court" used by Friedberg Castle, which was directly under the Reich.
Since the introduction of compulsory schooling in Upper Hesse as a school and apartment for teachers. The imperial eagle attached to the gable area, which has now been exchanged for a new one for reasons of age, bears witness to the sovereign function up to 1806.
Due to its later use, the building is also called the "Old Schoolhouse".

Hiking

The now dry weed used to be the center of a historic rest stop on the way from Friedberg to Hanau. With at least seven inns, a smithy and a horse changing station, the essential needs of the travelers were covered. The former office building of Friedberg Castle, which is still impressive today, has dominated today's village square since 1782.
