Hausen

Travel Guide

Your city trip to the old mill village of Hausen, a district to the northwest of Frankfurt am Main, is also a journey into the nature-filled floodplains of the River Nidda.

First recorded in 1132 as “Husun” and declared as part of Frankfurt am Main in 1910, Hausen has developed into a modern and multicultural, yet peaceful, spot today that has retained its charming close touch with nature in spite of its proximity to the neighbouring city. Familiarise yourself with Hausen’s narrow streets and charming houses during your trip.

One stop on your city trip to Hausen has to be the Brotfabrik Culture Centre. This building had originally been built as a bread factory in 1888. It developed into the first wholesale bakery in Frankfurt and was based here until 1962. Eighteen years later a group of young entrepreneurs took on the project and converted the former bread factory into a culture centre where today various types of concerts and salsa music ring out, lectures are held and theatre performances make their grand début.

Deciduous trees surround the white, green-roofed building with its green dome that stretches upwards. The Russian Orthodox Church, which is dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Myra, will catch your eye when you’re on your city trip to Hausen. Frankfurt's Russian Orthodox Church was designed by architect Wolf Drevermann in the 1960s as a recreation of a 15th century church in Pskow. Inside the church the Novgorod style is evident and icons displayed inside were designed by Frankfurt icon painter, Adam Russak, over a period of twelve years.

You will want to take a short trip to the green at Niddatal People’s Park, also called Nidda Park for short. Lawns and wetlands, play areas and sports grounds are interspersed throughout the 168-hectare site. To the north, the park borders the River Nidda, which gave the park its name. Although the idea for a nature-filled recreation area had already come up in 1914, it was only put into practice for the national garden show in Frankfurt am Main in 1989.

A trip to the Hausen outdoor pools will ensure you have a refreshing rest on your mini-break. Spacious lawn areas and a large number of mature trees make the outdoor pool, which was opened in 1930 and renovated in 2006, feel like a park. It is the largest swimming pool in Frankfurt am Main. The Hausen pool used to be right on the Nidda beach, but was then converted into a swimming pool in the 60s.

"프랑크푸르트 인근에서 휴양을 할수 있을만한 곳을 찾다가 발견한 호텔. 직원들은 친절했으며 무척이나 유연하고 전문적으로 서비스를 제공하였다. 한적하고 조용하지만 매우 깔끔하게 정돈된 호텔 내부와 바로 펼쳐진 공원까지 생각을 비우고 잠깐 도시를 벗어나 휴식을 취하기에 너무 훌륭한 곳이었다."
