Rüsselsheim am Main (German pronunciation: [ˈʁʏsl̩sˌhaɪm ʔam ˈmaɪn], lit. 'Rüsselsheim on the Main') is the largest city in the Groß-Gerau district in the Rhein-Main region of Germany. It is one of seven special status cities (implementing several functions that counties normally provide) in Hessen and is located on the Main, between Frankfurt and Mainz, only a few kilometres from its mouth in Mainz.
