Wiesbaden-Frauenstein

Frauenstein (German: "women's stone") is a borough of the city of Wiesbaden, Hesse, Germany, located in the Rhine-Main-Area near Frankfurt. The population is approximately 2,500. The town was first documented in 1231 and was incorporated into Wiesbaden in 1928.

The town is located in a narrow valley that is surrounded by fruit orchards and vineyards. Around late April and early May, the blooming cherry trees (German: "Kirschblüte") make Frauenstein a popular destination.

On a hill above the town stands the Nürnberger Hof, a former military outpost built in the 14th century. It now serves as a wine bar. In June 1815, during a curative visit to the spas in Wiesbaden, the famous German poet and artist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe spent a lunch at the Hof enjoying Rhein wine and admiring the "splendid view." His visit was commemorated with a stone obelisk in 1932.
