Rüsselsheim am Main is the largest city in the Groß-Gerau district in the Rhein-Main region of Germany. It is one of seven special status cities (implementing several functions that counties normally provide) in Hesse and is located on the Main, between Frankfurt and Mainz, only a few kilometres from its mouth in Mainz. The suburbs of Bauschheim and Königstädten are included in Rüsselsheim. Rüsselsheim has attained international recognition through the presence of the German car company Adam Opel AG. == History== Rüsselsheim emerged from a settlement of the Count of Katzenelnbogen. The name of the city evolved over the course of time: *764/5 Rucile(n)sheim *before 1130 Ruozcelenesheim *1336 Ruzelnsheim *1275 Ruozelsheim *1640 Ruselsem *1840 Rüsselsheim In the year 1435 the high noble Count John IV of Katzenelnbogen〔( Katzenelnbogen and the First Riesling of the World )〕 was first to cultivate Riesling in Rüsselsheim. His administrator bought new vines for 22 Schilling documented in the annual reports. in the following years Riesling showed up down the river Rhine and up the River Mosel. Rüsselsheim's comeback in the history of wine took place in 18th and 19th century, when famous wine-growing estates in the Rheingau recultivated their vineyards with vines of the Rüsselsheim and Flörsheim Area (Allendorf, Rheingauer Weinbauverband EV 1980). After the First World War viticulture disappeared in Rüsselsheim. In 1980 the mayor of Rüsselsheim Dr. Storsberg initiated a memory vineyard near the castle celebrating ''550 Years of Riesling''. This vineyard still exists. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rüsselsheim am Main」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
