Hattersheim am Main

Hattersheim am Main is a municipality in Main-Taunus-Kreis that spans three districts: Eddersheim, Hattersheim, and Okriftel, stretching along the Main River. The town contains residential areas, green spaces, and transport links to nearby Frankfurt.

The town grew from an agricultural settlement into an industrial center when a major chocolate factory was established, becoming an important employer for generations. This factory shaped its economic character for many decades until the end of the 20th century.

The town maintains active partnerships with communities in Hungary, Cape Verde, and France, which express themselves through regular exchange programs and local events. These international connections shape daily life and create opportunities for people to meet across borders.

The town connects directly to Frankfurt by public transit and has a network of cycling paths linking its three districts. Visitors can easily move between the areas and take advantage of its proximity to the larger city.

A seasonal ferry service runs from the Okriftel district across the Main to Kelsterbach on summer weekends, carrying visitors exploring the region. This unusual connection offers a different way to experience the riverside area.
