Introduction

|||||||||||||||||
|
Main-Taunus is a Kreis (district) in the middle of Hesse, Germany. Neighboring districts are Hochtaunuskreis, district-free Frankfurt, Groß-Gerau, district-free Wiesbaden, Rheingau-Taunus. Before the
era of Napoleon, the area was divided into many small
bits and pieces of independent states. The most prominent of these were the Archbishopric
of Mainz and the
territory ruled by the Lords
of Eppstein, who were
later succeeded by the Landgraves of Hesse-Darmstadt. In 1806 the area became united for the
first time as part of the Duchy of Nassau, which was annexed to Prussia in 1866. In 1928 the Main-Taunus
district was formed when the cities of Wiesbaden and Frankfurt annexed adjoining areas, leaving the
remaining unincorporated areas in the former districts of Wiesbaden and
Höchst too small to survive on their own. Together with some adjoining area
in the north, these bits and pieces were merged into the Main-Taunus
district. In 1972 the northern part of the district was transferred to the Hochtaunus district, and in 1977 the westernmost
parts became parts of the city Wiesbaden and the newly formed district Rheingau-Taunus. In 1980 the administrative seat was
moved from Frankfurt-Höchst to Hofheim. The
district covers the southern part of the Taunus mountains, with the Main river forming part of the district's border in the south. The
district covers the smallest area of any rural district in Germany. |
