OFFENBACH

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 16 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
OFFENBACH , a town of Germany, in the grand-duchy of Hesse, on the left bank of the Main, 5 M. S.E. of
Frankfort
 -on-Main, with which it is connected by the railway to Bebra and by a local electric line. Pop. (1905) 58,8o6, of whom about 20,000 were Roman Catholics and 1400
Jews
 . The most interesting building in the town is the Renaissance chateau of the
counts
  of Isenburg. Offenbach is the
principal
  industrial town of the duchy, and its manufactures are of the most varied description. Its characteristic industry, however, is the manufacture of portfolios, pocket-books, albums and other
fancy
  goods in
leather
 . The earliest mention of Offenbach is in a document of 970. In 1486 it came into the possession of the
counts
  of Isenburg, who made it their residence in 1685, and in 1816, when their lands were mediatized, it was assigned to Hesse. It owes its prosperity in the first place to the industry of the French
Protestant
  refugees who settled here at the end of the 17th, and the beginning of the 18th
century
 , and in the second place to the
accession
  of Hesse to the German Zollverein in 1828.
See Jost, Offenbach am Main in Vergangenheit and Gegenu art (Offenbach, 1901); Hager, Die Lederwarenindustrie in Offenbach (Karlsruhe, 1905).
