The Drudenfuß in Schlotheim's coat of arms probably dates back to 1626. That year, the plague raged in the city and the druid's foot was supposed to be a magical symbol to protect the residents.

The café linden tree is also known as the Goethe linden tree. After all, the old tree witnessed the visit of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to Count Werther in 1781. However, was the old tree was destroyed by a lightning strike in 1946. In November 2004, the historical coffee linden tree was replanted here.

A real eye-catcher is the police helicopter on the roof. Unfortunately, the restaurant is no longer managed.

The Schlothheim windmill was built in 1861 and was in use until the 1960s. Today it is a protected monument. Right next door is the Seilermuseum, where you can learn about the history of the city's rope-making trade. More information at https://geschichte.schlotheim.info/
