Next to the church is this picturesque building whose eventful history dates back to the 15th century. The local prison used to be located in the basement building with its thick walls and pointed arch vaults, over whose entrance door the year 1485 is carved. The house built above served as a school and teacher's apartment. In 1787 it was demolished due to dilapidation, but the topping-out ceremony for the school built on the old walls was celebrated that same year. In addition to the “happy people of the community,” the schoolboys also had to lend a hand in the demolition and reconstruction.

View of Glauberg

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Accompanied by the gentle murmur of the Nidder, this section offers you a magnificent view of the Glauberg. The gentle hill holds not only historically significant but also geologically interesting secrets. The Glauberg is, in fact, a table mountain made of solidified lava. The plateau consists of basalt, which can be attributed to the Vogelsberg volcanism. With its approximately 271 meters, situated between the rivers Nidder and Seemenbach, it is recognizable from afar.

Glauburg Railway Station

Highlight • Rest Area

After the neglected entrance building was privatized in 2004, the station building, which was restored between 2006 and 2007, is used as a country inn on the Vulkanradweg. It was awarded the monument protection prize in 2008 for the renovation work.
