Büttelborn, Municipality in Groß-Gerau district, Germany.
Büttelborn is a municipality in the Groß-Gerau district and consists of three separate communities: central Büttelborn, Klein-Gerau, and Worfelden. The area lies at about 91 meters above sea level and contains residential areas, farmland, and small local centers.
The area was first documented in 1222 as Butelbrunne and came under the rule of the Counts of Katzenelnbogen in 1257. Later, around 1479, the territory became part of Hesse and remained connected to the region from then on.
The three communities each hold their own festivals and markets throughout the year, showing how residents maintain their local ties and traditions. These gatherings bring people together to celebrate and keep customs alive across the different districts.
The location is close to Autobahn A67 and Bundesstraße B42, making it easy to reach by car from major routes. Klein-Gerau also has a railway station, offering convenient access for those traveling by train.
What makes it distinctive is how the municipality brings together three independent villages under one administration, each keeping its own identity and character. This unusual arrangement allows residents to maintain strong local connections while sharing common services and governance.
