Lifted off

Offhoben (also: Uffhoben ) is a deserted area in what is now the city of Wiesbaden in Hesse . The settlement was between Wiesbaden and Klarenthal Abbey .

As early as 1758, Schenck reported in his historical description of the city of Wissbaden about this submerged place and added the settlement to the monastery property.

The place was mentioned for the last time in a document in the Märkerbuch of the city of Wiesbaden around 1380.

The village of Offhoben was roughly in the area of today's Elisabeth Church in the Westend district .
