Rüsselsheim am Main

Rüsselsheim stretches along the Main River between Frankfurt and Mainz, encompassing the districts of Bauschheim, Hassloch, and Königstädten at 88 meters elevation.

The settlement originated as a Frankish colony in the 5th century, with its first written documentation as 'Rucilesheim' appearing in an inventory document from 840.

The Rüsselsheim Theater and Museum preserve industrial heritage through exhibitions about manufacturing processes and technological developments across different time periods.

The city maintains direct transport connections to Frankfurt and Mainz through regional trains, making it accessible for business travelers and tourists.

The Opel automobile manufacturing plant, established in 1899, transformed this agricultural settlement into a major industrial center of the Rhine-Main region.
