Höchst (German pronunciation: [ˈhøːçst])[2] is a neighbourhood and market town in the Ortsbezirk of Frankfurt-West in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Höchst is situated 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) west of Frankfurt city centre, on the north bank of the Main at the confluence with the River Nidda. Its old town is famous for around 400 timber framed houses.[3][4]

At the 1st of July in 1917, Sindlingen, Unterliederbach and Zeilsheim were incorprated to Höchst am Main.[5] In 1928 Höchst became incorporated into Frankfurt am Main, along with Sindlingen, Unterliederbach and Zeilsheim.[6] The well-preserved old city with its 400 half-timbered houses[7] has been under the Denkmalschutz protection law since 1972.[8] An important cultural event is the folklore festival, the Höchster Schloßfest, that brings many visitors to Höchst. It begins in the middle of June and last four weeks. It includes a festival in the old city, fireworks, and a jazz festival in the castle.[9]

History

Middle Ages

Höchst was first recorded as Hostat (meaning high site or high place).[10] On 11 February 1355, Höchst received its town privileges by emperor Charles IV. In a charter dated 12 January 1356, Charles IV gave additional privileges to Höchst including the right to hold markets every Tuesday.[11]

On 22 June 1622, during the Thirty Years' War, the Battle of Höchst saw a Catholic League and Spanish Empire armies defeat a Protestant force.[12] A second Battle of Höchst occurred on 11 October 1795 when Habsburg soldiers clashed with Republican French troops.

The fires

In 1586, the first major fire in Höchst occurred. The fire destroyed 56 houses, 25 barns, the town hall, the bath house and the Mainz Gate, which was half the town at the time.[13]

20th century

Höchst am Main became part of Frankfurt am Main in 1928.[14] Until 1987, Höchst was the administrative seat of an independent Landkreis.[15] Höchst is now the center of the Frankfurt-West Ortsbezirk (administrative district) with 135,000 residents.[16]

Economy

The name Höchst became known throughout the world for the chemical and pharmaceutical corporation Hoechst AG which was established in 1863.[citation needed] The Hoechst AG was headquartered in Höchst until in 1999, when the company was merged with the French Rhône-Poulenc S.A. and became Aventis[17] which, after another merger, became Sanofi-Aventis. Major research and production activities of the company continue to be conducted in Höchst. The site of the Hoechst works is now operated as the Höchst Industrial Park (Industriepark Höchst). It includes a notable expressionist building designed by Peter Behrens, the Technical Administration Building (Technische Verwaltungsgebäude).

Dehydrogenation

Chemical reaction involving the removal of hydrogen Compare Deprotonation. In chemistry, dehydrogenation is a chemical reaction that involves the removal of hydrogen, usually from an organic molecule. It is the reverse of hydrogenation. Dehydrogenation is important, both as a useful reaction and a serious problem. At its simplest, it's a useful way of converting alkanes, which are relatively inert and thus low-valued, to olefins, which are reactive and thus more valuable. Alkenes are precurso...
