GROß-GERAU
A LOCATION MADE OF PASSION

The county seat of Groß-Gerau benefits from its convenient location along the important train lines in the north to south and east to west directions, as well as its direct connection to the Autobahn. Renowned large and medium-sized production operations have taken advantage of these location benefits for decades. In addition, mid-market handiwork and service operations as well as innovative, young companies have enough room to develop in a modern industrial park. “Full of passion. Full of opportunities.” The city combines its strategically exceptional location and innovative economic power in industry, handiwork, and service with high ecological and recreational value. With three continuing education schools and the vocational training center, Groß-Gerau provides magnificent opportunities for training, which radiate across county lines.
