Schwalbach am Taunus, Urban municipality near Frankfurt, Germany.

Schwalbach am Taunus is a residential town on the southeastern slopes of the Taunus Mountains, about 20 kilometers from Frankfurt. It has a town center with shops, a library, and spaces for community activities.

The town first appears in written records in 781 when land was donated to Lorsch Abbey. It evolved from a farming village into a modern residential community during the 20th century.

The town maintains partnerships with cities in Poland, England, and France that encourage local exchanges and cooperation. These connections shape how residents engage with each other and with visitors.

The S-Bahn train connects the town directly to the Frankfurt metropolitan area, making travel straightforward. Shopping and local services are concentrated in the town center, easy to reach on foot.

A large residential district built in the 1960s integrates parks and forest areas throughout the neighborhoods. These green spaces were planned from the start as part of the community design.
