Hainburg is a municipality of just under 14,400 inhabitants in theOffenbach district in theRegierungsbezirk ofDarmstadt inHesse,Germany.
Hainburg is one of 13 towns and communities in the Offenbach district. The town lies at the edge of theFrankfurt Rhine Main Region on the bank of theMain. It lies east ofFrankfurt am Main. In the north is found the town ofHanau (Main-Kinzig-Kreis). Hainburg lies in the southern part ofHesse and borders in the east on thestate ofBavaria.
Hainburg borders in the north on the town ofHanau and the community ofGroßkrotzenburg (both in theMain-Kinzig-Kreis), in the east on the communities ofKahl andKarlstein (both in theAschaffenburg district in Bavaria), in the south on the town ofSeligenstadt and in the west on the towns ofRodgau andObertshausen.
The municipal area stretches over just under 16 km².[3]
Hainburg am Main is, with regards to transport, well linked to the surrounding towns and communities.
Hainburg's twoOrtsteile are Hainstadt and Klein-Krotzenburg, with the latter's population being about 2,000 fewer than the former's.
Near Hainstadt are preserved the remains of aRoman settlement. It is, however, questionable whether there was continuous settlement here between the time when this was built and the 12th century, when Hainstadt had its first documentary mention.

When Gottfried ofEppstein soldElectoral Mainz theAmt ofSteinheim with all the places belonging thereto in 1425, theElectors andArchbishops ofMainz took over as the new landlords. In 1532, the compulsory labour that Hainstadt people would ordinarily have to have done was cast aside in favour of payments in money.
When the Auheimer Mark (an old cadastral unit) was partitioned in 1786, Hainstadt was given part of theMarkwald (common forest). After Electoral Mainz'sSecularization, theOberamt of Steinheim passed in 1803 to theLandgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt. In 1882, the Hanau-Eberbachrailway with arailway station in Hainstadt was opened.
On 1 January 1977, in the course of municipal reform in Hesse, Hainstadt was merged with the neighbouring community of Klein-Krotzenburg under the name Hainburg.
Cutzenburch had its first documentary mention in 1175 in a legal battle between theSeligenstadt Abbey and Saint Peter's Monastery in Mainz. The Seligenstadt Abbey at this time had extensive landholdings in Krotzenburg. Already by this time, the Prince-Elector-Archbishop of Mainz was the landlord in Klein-Krotzenburg.
During theThirty Years' War, the populace suffered mightily. In 1632 alone, 90 inhabitants died of thePlague. By the war's end, everyone had fled the village.
In 1736, a chapel was built on theLiebfrauenheide (heath), which soon became a pilgrimage site. After Electoral Mainz'sSecularization, theOberamt of Steinheim passed in 1803 to theLandgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt, bringing Klein-Krotzenburg with it.
On 1 January 1977, in the course of municipal reform in Hesse, Klein-Krotzenburg was merged with the neighbouring community of Hainstadt under the name Hainburg.
