Hohenems, Administrative division in Vorarlberg, Austria.
Hohenems extends across 29 square kilometers in the Rhine valley, with 42 percent of its territory covered by dense forest formations.
The municipality received its official rights in 1333 but did not exercise them until gaining full municipal status in 1983, marking a 650-year gap.
The Jewish Museum, established in 1991, preserves the heritage of a community that once represented 12 percent of the town's population in 1862.
The Hohenems railway station connects to major Austrian cities through the Vorarlberg railway line, while the local airfield provides additional transportation options.
The Renaissance palace, constructed between 1562 and 1567 by architect Martino Longhi the Elder, stands at the foot of Schlossberg mountain.
