Griesheim, Town center in Darmstadt-Dieburg, Germany
The municipality spans across 21.4 square kilometers of predominantly flat terrain between the Urneckar and the Darmstadt Westwald forest area.
Records from 1165 CE first mention Griesheim, though archaeological findings indicate human settlements in the region dating back to 4500 BCE.
The market square features the statue of Zwiebelfrau, representing the agricultural heritage that earned Griesheim the designation of Onion City.
The town connects to central Darmstadt through regular tram services, while regional bus lines provide transportation to surrounding communities.
August Euler established Germany's first airfield in Griesheim during 1908, marking a significant milestone in German aviation history.
