In 1883, the doctor Dr. Wieger - after whom the Wiegerfelsen above the town is named today - founded the spa association in Schmitten. He had made it his mission to set up a postal connection to Oberursel (the postal association was founded for this purpose in 1884), to beautify the townscape to make it more attractive for visitors and to set reasonable overnight prices. The spa association's measures were successful. From 125 guests in 1884, the number of visitors rose to 600 in 1908 and to 3,000 to 4,000 in the 1920s. Prominent visitors such as Kaiser Wilhelm II (on April 5, 1910) and the Tsar's family (on September 10, 1910) also visited the Feldberg.
The spa association was dissolved in 1928. (Wikipedia)
