Klein-Krotzenburg

Klein-Krotzenburg is a district in Hainburg situated along the Main River valley in the Frankfurt Rhine-Main region. The area features low-lying terrain that opens toward the river and surrounding countryside.

Klein-Krotzenburg first appeared in written records in 1175 during a dispute between Seligenstadt Abbey and Saint Peter's Monastery. The area had been occupied and used economically since Roman times.

The Liebfrauenheide chapel, built in 1736, became a place where people from the region came to pray and worship. It shows how religion shaped daily life in this community.

The district is best explored on foot or by bicycle and sits within easy reach of public transportation. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the terrain along the river can be uneven in places.

Remains of a Roman bridge from Klein-Krotzenburg are preserved in two museums: the local heritage museum and the Saalburg museum. These finds reveal how important this area was as a crossroads during ancient times.
