The Wertheim House, also known as Wertheym, is a half-timbered house built around 1600 at the Fahrtor in Frankfurt am Main. It is the only house with exposed half-timbering in Frankfurt's old town that has survived the air raids on Frankfurt am Main almost unscathed. The house is a listed building. Until the destruction of the old town, it received little attention. Today, with its massive ground floor with sandstone arcades, the two cantilevered half-timbered upper floors and the slate attic, it is considered typical of the Frankfurt architectural style. Since the 1970s, its appearance and its status as the last of what used to be more than 1200 half-timbered houses in the old town have contributed to promoting the desire for comprehensive reconstructions of representative old town houses among Frankfurt's citizens.
