Editing Offenbach am Main (section)

==Geography==
===Subdivision===
The inner city area of Offenbach is quite large and consists of the historic center of the city and its expansions of the 1800s. Three formerly independent suburbs were incorporated in the first half of the 20th century: [[Offenbach-Bürgel|Bürgel]] being the first in 1908, then [[Offenbach-Bieber|Bieber]] and [[Offenbach-Rumpenheim|Rumpenheim]] in 1938 and 1942.

South of the inner city area are the suburbs [[Offenbach-Lauterborn|Lauterborn]], [[Offenbach-Rosenhöhe|Rosenhöhe]] and [[Tempelsee]]. [[Offenbach-Kaiserlei|Kaiserlei]] is a commercial district in the far west of the city bordering Frankfurt. In the west [[Offenbach-Waldheim|Waldheim]] is a residential neighborhood on the city limits with ''Mühlheim am Main''. In 2010 the eastern part of the city center was officially named [[Offenbach-Mathildenviertel|Mathildenviertel]], as the area was already unofficially called by the locals.<ref>{{cite web|title=Antrag Magistratsvorlage Nr. 144/10|url=http://pio.offenbach.de/index.php?docid=2010-0015188&dsnummer=DS%20I%20(A)%20588|publisher=City of Offenbach|access-date=4 September 2016|date=21 April 2010}}</ref>

Unlike most larger cities in Germany, Offenbach was not completely divided into districts. Only the nine neighborhoods mentioned above were officially districts, leaving the largest parts of the city officially unnamed. Although specific names for neighborhoods and areas were already in use among the locals and residents.

In June 2019, the city council approved a new act that subdivides the city's area entirely into 21 districts. The nine existing districts largely remained the same, most of them were even expanded. The new districts were laid out after the already by locals commonly known neighborhoods, such as the Westend, the Nordend or Buchhügel. A completely new name was only needed to be found for one neighborhood south of the city center, which never had commonly used name before: Lindenfeld. The name derived from an old name of a land lot in this area, when it was still fields in agricultural use prior to the 1800s.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hessenschau.de/politik/aus-9-mach-21-offenbach-verpasst-sich-12-neue-stadtteile,offenbach-stadtteile-100.html|title=Aus 9 mach 21: Offenbach verpasst sich 12 neue Stadtteile|last=Germany|first=hessenschau de, Frankfurt|date=28 June 2019|website=hessenschau.de|language=de|access-date=15 July 2019}}</ref>

===Climate===
Offenbach experiences a [[Oceanic climate|temperate oceanic climate]] (Köppen climate classification ''Cfb''). Due to its location in the [[Upper Rhine Plain]], the whole Rhein-Main Metropolitan Region generally experiences one of the warmest climates in Germany, making it possible to grow plants such as [[vineyards]], [[palm trees]] and [[olive trees]].
