Rodgau

Rodgau is an urban municipality in the Offenbach district, located southeast of Frankfurt am Main. The town is divided into five districts and sits at an elevation of about 128 meters above sea level.

The municipality was created in 1979 through the merger of five independent communities with roots reaching back to the 8th century. This consolidation brought together ancient settlements into a single modern administrative entity.

The Luther rose in the town emblem reflects the Evangelical heritage of Dudenhofen surrounded by Catholic communities. This religious identity shaped the character and buildings you see when walking through the area.

The Rhine-Main S-Bahn connection, operating since 2003, links the town directly to Frankfurt and neighboring areas. This public transport network makes it easy to explore the wider metropolitan region from here.

During the 20th century, leather manufacturing was the backbone of the local economy, with many households producing handbags and suitcases. This craft tradition shaped family life and the region's working identity for generations.
