Gravenbruch is a district of Neu-Isenburg in the Offenbach district in Hesse . The district is located in the district of Neu-Isenburg.
Geographical location
Gravenbruch is located in a relatively flat, closed forest area on a cleared island around four kilometers east of the town center of Neu-Isenburg. Due to the high population density of the Rhine-Main area, the surrounding forest is advertised as a protected forest and must not be cleared for further settlement.
Gravenbruch borders in the north, east and south on the forests of the independent city Offenbach am Main , in the southwest on the district Sprendlingen of the city Dreieich and in the west forest areas connect Gravenbruch with the core city Neu-Isenburg.
history
The Junker Sebastian von Heusenstamm, nephew of the archbishop of Mainz of the same name , Sebastian von Heusenstamm , probably built a fortified courtyard in Grau Bruch from 1586, the later courtyard Gravenbruch or forester's house Gravenbruch, which was the center of an independent district .
The name Gravenbruch is derived from the gray fraction , i.e. a trachyte deposit . The historical forms of name under which Gravenbruch was mentioned were for this boggy part of the landscape: 1299 Creyenbruch, then Krienbruch or Craenbruche (1401), Creyenbruch (1405), Kreyenbruch (1437), Creyen Bruch (1467), Kreichenbruch (1567), Grauen Bruch ( 1590), Krauen Bruch (1592), Creenbruch (1595), Cravenbruch (1607), Grafenbruch (1829) and finally Grafenbruch (1946). The current spelling of Gravenbruch has been in effect since 1965.
In 1661 the court passed to the Counts of Schönborn . It was rebuilt in the 18th century and an annex was added in 1908. As of 1854, the district comprised an area of 1672 acres , of which 122 acres were arable, 67 acres were meadows and 1436 acres were forest.
The farm and the surrounding forest areas were the target of 14 presumably misdirected air raids during World War II . In the 1950s, a new concept of use was sought for the bombed forest.
The remaining parts of the courtyard that have been preserved have been expanded with new buildings to form an extensive hotel complex, the Kempinski Hotel Gravenbruch since the operator change in 1976 . The independent Grafenbruch district was dissolved on April 1, 1957 and added to the adjacent districts. So the Grafenbruch residential area came to Neu-Isenburg. In 1957 it had 10 residents.
Construction of the residential town of Gravenbruch began on December 5, 1960. It was planned as a purely residential area with no through traffic . The gently curved road Am Forsthaus Gravenbruch runs through the entire residential area from the west and leads back to itself in a large loop in the east. Most of the side streets are spur streets, end in a turning circle and only serve local traffic.
For the district of Gravenbruch, a local district with a local advisory council and a local mayor was set up. The district of Gravenbruch includes hall 25 of the Neu-Isenburg district.

The street Am Forsthaus Gravenbruch connects the residential town for regional traffic to the west with federal highway 459 , which connects the district town of Dietzenbach in the south with federal highway 3 at Offenbacher Kreuz . At the northern edge of Gravenbruch, the federal highway 3 leads past in a west-east direction. The southern border of the development is accompanied by the state road L 3117, which leads from Heusenstamm in the east via the Neu-Isenburg junction of the federal motorway 661 to the core town of Neu-Isenburg. In the southwest of Gravenbruch it crosses the B 459. In the northeast, the historic Alte Babenhäuser Straße as a forest road borders both the residential town of Gravenbruch and the urban area of Neu-Isenburg.
