Due to the prominent rocks (sponge reefs in cone karst shapes) of a meander cutoff hill, which emerged as the result of the uplifting of the Franconian Jura in the Late Tertiary and the deposition of a thick bed of sand in the Upper Cretaceous,[1] and its timber-framed-houses, which appear in places to be glued onto the rocks, Tüchersfeld is a symbol of Franconian Switzerland and has also been portrayed on postage stamps of the Deutsche Post.
[4] Of particular note is the synagogue from the second half of the 18th century (around 1763) with its simple Late Baroque stucco work on the ceiling; of the original decoration little can be seen after decades of alienation.
[5] The Catholic chapel of ease, the Church of the Sacred Heart, was built in 1950-51 thanks to a foundation; with the tower it is attached to another building.
Behind the altar is a painting by Otelia Kraszewska (Gößweinstein) depicting Christ in a white robe as he turns to people of different ages.
[6] On 1 January 1972, the municipality of Tüchersfeld was dissolved and its territory was incorporated into the boroughs of Pottenstein and Gößweinstein (the hamlets of Hühnerloh and Kohlenstein).
