Offenbach am Main has a population around 119,000 and sits directly east of Frankfurt, separated only by a city boundary that most visitors do not notice. The Deutsche Ledermuseum (German Leather Museum) reflects the city's history as a leather goods manufacturing centre. The Hochschule fuer Gestaltung (HfG Offenbach) is one of Germany's most respected art and design schools. Offenbach has Germany's highest proportion of residents with a migration background, over 60%, giving it a distinct multicultural character compared to neighbouring Frankfurt.
The Busingpalais on the Main riverbank hosts cultural events. The Kickers Offenbach, once a Bundesliga club, represent the city's footballing tradition. Offenbach was historically a refuge for French Huguenots and has attracted waves of immigration ever since. The city has long lived in Frankfurt's economic shadow but has attracted creative industries and start-ups priced out of its expensive neighbour. The S-Bahn connects to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof in 15 minutes. Adult companionship follows Hessen's regulatory framework, with Frankfurt's Bahnhofsviertel practically on Offenbach's doorstep.
