Friedrichsdorf, Historic Huguenot settlement in Hochtaunuskreis, Germany
The municipality spreads across 30 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 200 meters, consisting of four districts: Seulberg, Köppern, Burgholzhausen, and Dillingen.
Landgrave Friedrich II established the town in 1687 as a refuge for French Huguenots who fled religious persecution in their homeland.
The Johann Philipp Reis Museum exhibits the work of the local inventor who developed early telephony technology through his electrical speech transmission device.
The town connects to Frankfurt through the S5 rail line and provides direct access to Autobahn A5, making it convenient for both residents and visitors.
Friedrichsdorf's industrial heritage includes the production of zwieback, which later evolved into the establishment of Milupa, a significant baby food manufacturer.
