Source-derived summary

Hammersbach is a municipality in the district of Main-Kinzig-Kreis, in Hesse, Germany.

Location

Hammersbach is located near Frankfurt am Main. Since 2007 Hammersbach has an official connection to the motorway A45 that has been planned for a long time. Prior to that, it was necessary to use the Raststätte Langen-Bergheim to get access the motorway.

Constituent communities

It consists of two villages: Marköbel and Langen-Bergheim. Only Marköbel once belonged to the Roman Empire. Parts of the Limes were found there recently.

Culture and sightseeing

Hammersbach has many beautiful old houses in the town center. The elementary school (Astrid-Lindgren-Schule) of Hammersbach can be seen easily from the fields around the village, because of the cone-shaped roof.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “municipality in Main-Kinzig-Kreis in Hesse, Germany” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q638667. VIAF identifies the subject as 242945293. The Library of Congress control number is n92075253. Authority coordinates are 50.217, 8.983. 4 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2007.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
