The historic town hall was built in 1479 on the remains of Gothic city gates. Its history is closely intertwined with the history of the town of Oberursel. In 1444, the market town of Oberursel was granted city rights. Trade developed rapidly, and the number of citizens grew steadily. In 1481, the city walls were extended to include a new part of the town—the "valley." After fulfilling its military function, the town hall was built on the reclaimed site of the "Lower Gate" of the first city wall. At this juncture between the old and new towns, it became a visible testament to the self-confidence of the free citizens. Moreover, the building was centrally located on the newly created market square. In the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War, the town hall burned down for the first time in 1622. Although plans for its reconstruction existed as early as 1629, they could not be realized during the Thirty Years' War. In 1645, the temporary building erected in its place was burned down again, along with almost the entire town. The town hall was rebuilt in 1659, though on a smaller scale than originally planned in 1629. The interior was completed in 1663. A jail cell, known as the "Betzelkammer," was installed at its base, beneath the staircase. This cell could accommodate 20 prisoners. In 1702, a sundial was added to the town hall; during the 1933/34 renovation, an inscription was added. Above the town hall's entrance is a Baroque replica of the town's coat of arms from the 15th/18th centuries. On September 27, 1980, the renovated council chamber was reopened. Since then, the council chamber, with its beautiful wainscoting, has been available for special civic events and weddings.

The St. Barbara Hospital Church in Strackgasse was built in the first half of the 18th century.

A memorial to the victims of National Socialism was installed next to the hospital church. It is very important that the injustices of that time are not forgotten.

The old town of Oberursel is worth visiting all year round. There are several historic buildings to discover.

They are often very beautiful "works of art".

The history of Oberursel's old town begins with its first mention in 791, developed from a farming settlement into an important commercial center in the 14th/15th centuries, received town rights in 1444 and experienced industrialization in the 19th century; today, the renovated old town with its historic town hall (built in 1479 on older foundations) and many half-timbered houses shapes the cityscape and has been extensively renovated since the 1970s, with pedestrian zones and new cultural centers.

The suburb is a pedestrian zone. Shops line the streets.
