Goddelau, Historic village district in Riedstadt, Germany
The village of Goddelau lies in the Upper Rhine Plain within the Groß-Gerau district, approximately two kilometers from the Altrhein River and ten kilometers from Darmstadt.
In 834, Count Gundram donated his possessions in Goddelau to the Abbey of Fulda, marking the first documented mention of this settlement in historical records.
The Büchnerhaus, birthplace of writer Georg Büchner in 1813, now functions as a museum documenting the life and works of this German literary figure.
The Riedstadt-Goddelau railway station connects the village to the Mannheim-Frankfurt line, offering regular regional train services and S-Bahn connections throughout the day.
The Philippshospital, established in 1535 by Landgrave Philipp I, stands as one of the oldest psychiatric medical facilities in continuous operation worldwide.
