HOCHHEIM, a town of Germany, in the Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau,
situated on an elevation not far from the right bank of the Main, 3 m.
above its influx into the Rhine and 3 m. E. of Mainz by the railway from
Cassel to Frankfort-on-Main. Pop. (1905) 3779. It has an Evangelical and
a Roman Catholic church, and carries on an extensive trade in wine, the
English word "Hock," the generic term for Rhine wine, being derived from
its name. Hochheim is mentioned in the chronicles as early as the 7th
century. It is also memorable as the scene of a victory gained here, on
the 7th of November 1813 by the Austrians over the French.
See Schuler, _Geschichte der Stadt Hochheim am Main_ (Hochheim, 1888).
HOCHST, a town of Germany, in the Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau on
the Main, 6 m. by rail W. of Frankfort-on-Main. Pop. (1905) 14,121. It
is a busy industrial town with large dye-works and manufactures of
machinery, snuff, tobacco, waxcloth, gelatine, furniture and biscuits.
Brewing is carried on and there is a considerable river trade. The
Roman Catholic church of St Justinus is a fine basilica originally built
in the 9th century; it has been restored several times, and a Gothic
choir was added in the 15th century. The town has also an Evangelical
church and a synagogue, and a statue of Bismarck by Alois Mayer. Hochst
belonged formerly to the electors of Mainz who had a palace here; this
was destroyed in 1634 with the exception of one fine tower which still
remains. In 1622 Christian, duke of Brunswick, was defeated here by
Count Tilly, and in 1795 the Austrians gained a victory here over the
French.
Hochst is also the name of a small town in Hesse. This has some
manufactures, and was formerly the seat of a Benedictine monastery.
