Neu-Anspach, located in the Hochtaunus district of Hesse, is a modern town with deep historical roots, formed by the merger of several ancient villages during the administrative reforms of the early 1970s. Located in a scenic high valley of the Taunus Mountains, it features a high quality of life with its blend of suburban comfort and immediate access to nature. The town's primary landmark is the Hessenpark Open-Air Museum, an expansive site that brings Hessian history to life through over 100 relocated and restored historical buildings, ranging from farmhouses to workshops. Geography plays a key role in the town's identity, as it is surrounded by the dense forests and rolling hills characteristic of the Hintertaunus region. Neu-Anspach is well-connected to the Frankfurt metropolitan area via the Taunusbahn railway, making it a prime location for those working in the city but preferring a quieter, greener environment. In addition to tourism and its residential function, the town supports a diverse local economy and hosts popular recreational spots like the nearby Lochmühle leisure park, making it a lively hub in the Taunus region.
