Raunheim

Raunheim is an urban municipality in the Groß-Gerau district situated along the southern bank of the Main River, combining residential neighborhoods with industrial zones and green spaces. The town integrates different districts with a mix of traditional and modern development patterns.

Control of the settlement passed to Count John IV of Katzenelnbogen in 1425, marking a significant shift in its political status. This transfer integrated the area into a new administrative system that shaped its trajectory for centuries to come.

The town maintains partnerships with Le Teil in France and Trofarello in Italy, fostering regular exchanges between residents of different regions. These connections shape the community's identity as an open place with European ties.

The town offers convenient connections through Autobahn A3 and proximity to Frankfurt International Airport, making travel straightforward. Public transportation with S-Bahn lines links efficiently to neighboring cities and surrounding areas.

Several former industrial sites speak to the area's past economic strength and now offer space for fresh development. A recreational bathing lake situated near a forest allows visitors to enjoy outdoor relaxation.
