Hessenaue

Hessenaue is a rural district near Trebur that extends east of the Rhine River. The area consists mainly of agricultural land and contains lakes that shape its landscape.

The district was created in 1939 through the consolidation of several territories into a settlement zone during wartime. This merger aimed to streamline agricultural management and administration of the area.

The district maintains a rural character shaped by open fields and meadows that define its appearance. Local residents maintain a close connection to the landscape and use the water areas for leisure activities.

The district is accessible via the K 161 road and connected by bus services to the nearby Groß Gerau train station. Visitors can use local walking paths and lakeshore routes for navigation and getting around.

The Oberwiesensee lake offers unexpected views toward the Rhine and the surrounding floodplain landscape. The winter dams along the water areas are lesser-known routes that provide direct access to this quiet riverside terrain.
