What this page is

This page gathers what Cultural Heritage Online documents in Offenbach am Main, Germany: the entries are the ones already published, each with its own sources, its position and its photographs. It is the shortest way to everything we hold in the city, and it is updated as the archive grows.

Why visit

Offenbach built its twentieth-century economy on machine-building, leather-making, typography and design — a working city on the Main beside Frankfurt, with an older core than its neighbour lets you think.

Origins and history

The first documented reference to a suburb of Offenbach appears in 770, and a charter of Emperor Otto II from 977 is the first mention of the place itself. In 1556 Count Reinhard of Isenburg moved his residence here and built the Isenburg Palace, completed in 1559, destroyed by fire in 1564 and rebuilt in 1578.
