History
[edit | edit source]The Türmchen was built around 1780[1] on an elevated ground as a Hirtenhaus (shepherds' house).[1][2][3]
The building belongs to the town of Idstein.The street address is Malbachweg 1.[1] In 19821, it was consecrated as a chapel,[1] and now serves for monthly church services of the Oberauroff/Görsroth/Eschenhahn parish of the Protestant Church in Hesse and Nassau.[3] The building was completely restored over two years beginning in 2019.[1][4] It is a listed historic monument.[1]
Building
[edit | edit source]The Türmchen is located on a level higher than the street, supported by a wall. Based on a high foundation of Bruchstein (quarry stone), it is a fachwerk (timber-framed) construction with a gable roof. The roof is built of timber cut in winter 1685/86. The slated ridge turret is much younger, built between 1737 and 1757. In was erected as a clock tower, long before the usage of the building as a church.[2] It explains the common name. The only entrance on the south side is reached by stairs. An original second door was blocked.[1] Nowadays, the building comprises only a single simple rectangular room.Two dividing walls were abolished for the conversion to religious use.[3][5]
