Offenthal

Offenthal is a cadastral district in Dreieich featuring residential areas and green spaces across the Frankfurt Rhein-Main region. The area unfolds across gentle terrain with local roads and paths that connect different neighborhoods together.

The area appears in written records from 834 and came under the rule of the Counts of Isenburg in the 1400s. It later became part of Hessian territory, an event that shaped its political identity.

The church at the center serves as a gathering place where residents and visitors can observe how faith has shaped community life over generations. Walking through the district, you notice how religious architecture reflects the changes in local beliefs and traditions.

The district connects well to surrounding areas through the Dreieichbahn railway line and regular bus routes. Visitors should allow time to walk through different neighborhoods to get a full sense of the district.

The district sits along two notable routes for travelers: the German Timber Framing Road and the Hessian Apple Wine and Orchard Route. These pathways link local craftsmanship and fruit growing traditions with other important locations in the region, making it a useful stop for hikers and cyclists.
