Griesheim has been a district or Stadtteil of Frankfurt am Main, Germany since 1928, the year of its suburbanisation. It is located between Nied, Sossenheim, Bockenheim, Gallusviertel and Schwanheim.

Although it is located close to downtown Frankfurt (5-10 minutes by train), Griesheim also has an atmosphere of a smaller village.^{[citation needed]} Not far from the centre, which is located in southern Griesheim, are the banks of the River Main, which is very popular with cyclists, joggers and pedestrians.^{[citation needed]}
