Frauenstein is the western-most borough of the city of Wiesbaden, located in the Rhine Main Area near Frankfurt and capital of the federal state of Hesse, Germany. The borough has a population of approximately 2,400. The formerly independent village was incorporated into Wiesbaden in 1928. The historic village center is located in the south of the borough. In the center of it are the ruins of a medieval castle, of which the keep still stands. Known as the "Gateway to the Rheingau", the historic village is surrounded by vineyards and fruit orchards. Around late April and early May, its blooming cherry trees make Frauenstein a popular destination. ==Geographical setting== Frauenstein borders the Wiesbaden boroughs of Dotzheim to the north and northeast and Schierstein to the southeast. The town of Schlangenbad lies to the west. The Schlangenbad borough of Georgenborn is almost an enclave, bordered to the north, east, and south by Frauenstein. The historic village center of Frauenstein is situated in a narrow valley formed by two streams, the ''Lippbach'' and ''Katzbach''. These are joined by the ''Erlenbach'' south of the village center to form the ''Grorother Bach''. The ''Grorother Bach'' flows southeast, reaching the Rhine at Schierstein. A hill called the ''Spitzen Stein'' stands just east of the village center. Other nearby high points include ''Grauerstein'' (elevation 339 m) to the northwest and ''Leierkopf'' (207 m) to the east. The highest point in Frauenstein is Rotekrauzkopf (elevation 509 m) in the far northwest of the borough. The Frauenstein area is home to a population of the Aesculapian Snake, a large, non-venomous snake rare to this area of Europe. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wiesbaden-Frauenstein」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
