Originally there was a gravel pit here. At the end of the 1970s it became a local recreation area. On the shore of the bathing lake there is a large lawn with a small nudist area on its west side, showers and sanitary facilities. Access to the lake is free. During the bathing season between May and September there is a bathing supervision from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., outside of this time bathing is prohibited. The quality of the water is monitored by the Offenbach Health Department.

Rumpenheim Main Ferry

Highlight • Structure

The Rumpenheim Main ferry connects Rumpenheim in the south of the Main with Bischofsheim in the north of the Main. There has been a ferry at this point since the 17th century. At that time, Rumpenheim was the only place south of the Main that belonged to the county of Hanau.
The ferry, operated by the Hans Dill ferry company, runs daily all year round. Cyclists pay 80 cents for the crossing (person + bike per trip), and 1 euro with a large cargo bike.

Rumpenheim Palace

Highlight • Castle

The Rumpenheim Castle goes back to a manor house that Johann Georg Seifert von Edelsheim had built from 1678 onwards. Under Prince Karl von Hessen-Kassel, who resided in Gottorf as governor of the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein and who bought the Rumpenheim fiefdom from Edelsheim in 1768, the ensemble was expanded to a three-wing complex in the years 1787–1788 and the park was also redesigned . Until the middle of the 19th century, the Rumpenheimer Schloss served as one of the residences of the House of Hessen-Kassel, after that it became increasingly rare, and in 1902 it was finally given up as a seat.
After the First World War, the castle came into the assets of the Kurhessische Hausstiftung, but remained largely unused. In the Second World War, the central building of the palace was damaged by bombs in 1943 and partially burned out.
After 1945, refugees were initially accommodated in the castle, but from the 1950s the building remained largely unused and fell into disrepair. The ruins were supposed to be demolished in the 1970s, which prevented a citizens' initiative. Only since 2002 has the castle presented itself again in its historical external appearance. Inside there are now condominiums.

The slate-roofed baroque church was built according to a design by C.P. Diede from Hanau and from the

the church also became the "castle church", since it has stood in the middle of the castle garden since 1838. Nonetheless, took there too

secured to the lock. However, in 1894 pastor Samuel Eck refused the imperial daughter and the landgrave from the
Rumpenheimer Schloss the Last Supper in their private chambers. He referred to the Scriptures, which emphasize
that within the Christian community the differences between rich and poor should not play a role.
