Butzbach has served as a market town in Hesse’s Wetterau region since the Middle Ages. Between the fertile Wetterau plain and the wooded Taunus uplands, the town is crossed by the Usa, a tributary of the Wetter. Its compact centre preserves timber-framed houses, parts of the former fortifications and the Marktplatz, while Landgrave’s Castle recalls the time when Butzbach was the residence of the Hesse-Butzbach line in the 17th century. The Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes, the former Roman frontier and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, passes close to the town.
