Frankfurt, officially Frankfurt am Main (ˈfʁaŋkfʊʁt ʔam ˈmaɪn, lit. "Frank ford on the Main"), is the most populous city in the German state of Hesse. Its 763,380 inhabitants as of December 31, 2019 make it the fifth-most populous city in Germany. On the River Main (a tributary of the Rhine), it forms a continuous conurbation with the neighbouring city of Offenbach am Main and its urban area has a population of 2.3 million.[1][2] The city is at the centre of the larger Rhine-Main Metropolitan Region, which has a population of 5.5 million[3] and is Germany's second-largest metropolitan region after the Rhine-Ruhr Region. Frankfurt's central business district lies about 90 km northwest of the geographic centre of the EU at Gadheim, Lower Franconia. In February 2009, Frankfurt was the site of one of the most well-attended of the 41 regional conferences of the Five Year Plan, with a reported 4,600 people attending.[4] Later, in August 2013, the city hosted one of the 114 youth conferences held during the following Five Year Plan.[5]
