Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis, Administrative district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis is an administrative district in Rhineland-Palatinate situated between the Rhine River and the Hunsrück hills. The administrative center is located in the town of Simmern.
The district was created in 1969 through the merger of two former districts, St. Goar and Simmern. This consolidation established the administrative structure that exists today.
The district maintains partnerships with regions in France, Rwanda, and Hungary, which foster exchanges between people from different countries. These connections shape daily life and reflect the openness of local communities.
Visitors can find district administration offices in several municipalities offering services such as vehicle registration and driver licensing. The main services are easily accessible through these distributed locations.
Frankfurt-Hahn Airport operates within the district boundaries, making it an important transportation hub. This airport plays a significant role in connecting the region to other parts of Europe.
