The Main-Taunus district spans 221 square kilometers between the Main River and Taunus mountains, containing twelve municipalities with Hofheim as its capital.
Established in 1928, the district underwent territorial reforms in 1972, which modified its boundaries and excluded the Großer Feldberg mountain from its jurisdiction.
The district maintains numerous orchards and agricultural lands across its territory, reflecting the traditional farming practices of the Hesse region.
The area provides direct transport connections to Frankfurt and contains multiple commercial centers, supporting its population of 239,276 residents.
