Groß-Umstadt

Groß-Umstadt extends across varied landscapes at 162 meters elevation, encompassing eight districts surrounded by the Odenwald mountain range in southeastern Hesse.

First documented in 743 as Autmundisstat, the settlement obtained town privileges by 1263 and developed under joint control of Hesse and Palatinate from 1504.

The September Winzerfest wine festival gathers thousands of participants to celebrate local wine production and regional traditions in the town center.

The municipality maintains three railway stations on the Odenwald line: Groß-Umstadt Wiebelsbach, Groß-Umstadt Mitte, and Groß-Umstadt Klein-Umstadt.

The town center displays Renaissance architecture while maintaining modern amenities, with half of its 21,000 residents living in surrounding incorporated districts.
