Klein-Gerau

Klein-Gerau stretches across agricultural landscapes in the western Main Plain, situated at 91 meters above sea level in the Hegbach-Apfelbach valley.

The first documented mention of Klein-Gerau dates to 1246 under the name villa Weneghgerahe, when residents primarily engaged in grain farming and cattle raising.

The district maintains strong ties to agricultural traditions through regular community events, including the summer festival of the volunteer fire department and annual cycling competitions.

The district connects to major urban centers through the Rhine-Main railway system, which has served the community since 1858, enabling efficient transportation for residents.

A historic oak mill, documented since 1303, remains standing in Klein-Gerau as a testament to the district's long-standing agricultural heritage.
