Maintal-Dörnigheim
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dörnigheim is the biggest district of Maintal.
Dörnigheim's existence was first documented in the year 793.
According to a document Wolfbodo donated the Maingau including "Turinchheim" (old name of the city) to the the Abbot of Lorsch. The proprietorship was shared between the counts of Hanau and the bishops of Mainz.
Because of its well situated location between Hanau in the east and Frankfurt am Main in the west Dörnigheim was favoured as a last stop for travelling salesman on their way to Frankfurt.
In 1964 Dörnigheim received city rights.
In 1974 the city lost its independence and became together with three other towns a district of the newly formed city of Maintal.
