Dalberger Haus stands in Frankfurt’s Höchst district, where this Renaissance noble residence forms part of the old town’s historic setting. Its ornate timber framing marks the façade. It ranks among Höchst’s noble residences and carries historical and art-historical importance. Its upper storey presents craftsmanship through carved wood.

Construction began in 1582, while a floor added between 1586 and 1587 carries rich decoration. Wild men and Saint Andrew’s crosses appear among the motifs. Fire dogs, carved quatrefoils, and corner posts extend the pattern across the timber structure. These elements show Renaissance ornament through the building’s visible joinery.

The house later accommodated the Höchst Porcelain Manufactory, founded in 1746 as the Electoral Mainz Porcelain Manufactory. That enterprise became Germany’s second-oldest porcelain manufactory. In 1977, the residence became its company headquarters, linking Renaissance architecture with Frankfurt’s porcelain history. Its carved wild men remain a memorable detail of the façade.
