Hesse is a federal state of the Federal Republic of Germany, with just over six million inhabitants. The state is the most important financial center in the country and has one of the strongest economies of any region in Europe. Hessen is a pivot of finance with over 400 banks, the stock exchange and the Bundesbank, the central bank of the Federal Republic of Germany. 2. The Central Hessian region was inhabited in the Upper Paleolithic. Finds of tools in southern Hesse in Rüsselsheim suggest the presence of Pleistocene hunters about 13,000 years ago. The region was later settled by the Germanic Chatti tribe around the 1st century BC, and the name Hesse is a continuation of that tribal name. Their territory was governed by various dynasties of counts beginning in the 10th century, but it was only in 1945 most of the Hessen territories and part of old Nassau were merged to form the state of Greater Hessen. 3. Frankfurt was a city state, the Free City of Frankfurt, for nearly five centuries, and was one of the most important cities of the Holy Roman Empire, as a site of imperial coronations; it lost its sovereignty upon the collapse of the empire in 1806 and then permanently in 1866, when it was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia. Frankfurt is an alpha world city and a global hub for commerce, culture, education, tourism and transportation. Frankfurt is the major financial centre of the European continent. 4. Hessen is well-known because of Europe's financial metropolis Frankfurt, and Germany's largest airport. It is third largest in Europe in terms of the number of passengers flown, and the second in terms of transported cargo. 5. Wiesbaden is a city in central western Germany and the capital of the federal state of Hesse. Wiesbaden is one of the oldest spa towns in Europe. Its name translates to "meadow baths", a reference to the hot springs. It is internationally famous for its architecture, climate (it is also called the "Nice of the North"), and hot springs. The city is considered the tenth richest in Germany (2014) boasting 110.3% of the national average gross domestic product in 2017. 6. North Hesse is fairy-tale country. The Brothers Grimm lived many years in Kassel, and collected the tales of the region. Sababurg is known as the castle of Sleeping Beauty as it was surrounded by a 5km long and 3m high thorn hedge in the 16th century. 7. Higher education stands at the center of the Hessen economy and society. There are roughly 30 higher education institutions spread throughout the State of Hessen. 100 research institutes across the state work closely with local and international industry and academia, depending on the topics and scope of their research. Over 180 thousand students come here to learn, 25 thousand of which are international students, from almost every country on the planet.
