Langen

Langen is a town in Offenbach district in Hesse, situated on terrain at 143 meters (469 feet) elevation between Frankfurt and Darmstadt. This municipality combines residential areas with commercial zones and sits in a well-connected location within the Rhine-Main region.

Growth from a small settlement to an administrative center in Offenbach district reflects the regional development patterns of Hesse over centuries. The town gained importance during the 20th century through its proximity to Frankfurt and transport connections.

The Stadtmuseum displays exhibitions on local history, while the Altes Rathaus houses the Ebbelwoistubb, where visitors can experience regional traditions. Cider culture shapes social life in this part of Hesse, and guests can discover the atmosphere of a southern Hessian community in this traditional tavern.

The Bürgerbüro offers municipal services including housing permits, vehicle registration, and administrative support for residents and newcomers. Most offices sit in the center and are reachable on foot or by public transport.

A feasibility study confirms plans to extend Frankfurt's tram line through the town, connecting it with Neu-Isenburg and Dreieich. This expansion will link the municipality more closely to the regional public transport network and improve mobility for commuters.
