Pfungstadt South of Darmstadt: Brewery Tradition and Sandy Ried Soils on the Modau
The Pfungstaedter Brauerei, brewing since 1831, remains the best-known feature of this town of roughly 25,100 residents in the Darmstadt-Dieburg district. Pfungstadt sits on the western edge of the Hessisches Ried, where sandy soils deposited during the last ice age create conditions suited to asparagus farming. Darmstadt begins about 6 kilometres to the northeast. Griesheim borders to the north. The Modau river enters town from the Odenwald foothills and flows westward toward the Rhine plain. Pfungstadt's character is residential, shaped largely by commuters working in the broader Rhine-Main area.
