Geography[]

Location[]

The parish of Worfeld lies entirely within the so-called Hegbach-Apfelbach Bottom (Hegbach-Apfelbach-Grund) in the western Lower Main Plain.[2] In this respect it differs from Lage Büttelborn, whose southwestern corner lies within the Hessian Ried.

In the north Worfelden borders on Mörfelden, in the east on Schneppenhausen (Darmstadt-Dieburg), in the southeast on Braunshardt (Darmstadt-Dieburg), in the southwest on Büttelborn and in the west on Klein-Gerau.
