Oberstedten
Oberstedten is one of four town districts of Oberursel in the north of the town centre, at the border of Bad Homburg.
History
Obersteten was first mentioned 817 AD under the Name "Stetine". Later it was divided in Ober-, Mittel- and Niederstedten. In the very neighbourhood the night's castle Hohenberg has been built, which was sold in 1200 AD to Gottfried von Eppstein. Today it is known as the Bad Homburger castle with the famous "Bergfried" (white tower) [1]
Around this castle the town Bad Homburg was founded by assimilating Mittel- and Niederstedten.
1972 Oberstedten was incorporated in Oberursel, but has still the area code of Bad Homburg (06172).
