Built along the Hammersbach stream, Hammersbach developed from the older settlements of Marköbel and Langen-Bergheim into a modern municipality in Hesse. It lies on the eastern side of the Wetterau, a broad and fertile lowland region north-east of Frankfurt. Marköbel preserves an important trace of Roman frontier history: the site of a fort on the Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes, the former boundary of the Roman Empire and part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. The municipality’s two main districts give it a distinctly local, residential character within the Main-Kinzig district.
