[2][full citation needed] Schloßborn is located on a Landesstraße, about three kilometers from Bundesstraße 8, connecting Frankfurt and Cologne.

The first documented reference to Schloßborn was in the Bardo-Urkunde, a deed from 1043 in which Archbishop Bardo of Mainz established the boundaries of a large parish called Born.

[3] In 1369, Count Eberhard I of Eppstein built a hunting lodge in Born; the remains of a tower and the surrounding wall are still preserved.

[3] With the end of the Austro-Prussian War, Schloßborn became Prussian, part of the Obertaunuskreis (Upper Taunus district).

After the defeat of the First World War, in late 1918 Schloßborn came under French rule during the Allied Occupation of the Rhineland in the district designated as Hilfskreis Königstein.

[4] On 1 August 1972, under the Hesse territorial reform, Schloßborn became part of the municipality of Glashütten, moving from the Main-Taunus district into the Hochtaunus.

[7] After 1945, for a period of many years, young people from Germany and abroad (mainly from France) went to Schloßborn on holiday, to relax, or to attend conferences.

In the 1950s, the building also housed a few orphaned children from families in the Main-Taunus district under the leadership of social worker Sophie Schönig.
