Knapp & Partner Rechtsanwälte (Legal Firm)


Our legal practice is located in Offenbach am Main – a city at the heart of the Rhine-Main area. This city is currently evolving from an industrial location toward a modern metropolis focussed on the service industry and is known nationwide thanks to the “Deutschen Wetterdienst” (German Meteorological Service). The excellent road infrastructure, the suburban railways and the proximity to the Rhine-Main airport ensure rapid and uncomplicated connection to most locations.

Our legal practice was founded in 1957 by the lawyer and notary a.D. Dr. Rolf Mechler and the lawyer and notary a.D. Dr. Bruno Knapp, who remains one of the name givers to this very day. This partnership, which can look back at a successful history of almost 40 years, has grown continuously. Currently, there are eight lawyers, guaranteeing comprehensive and specialised counselling and support. No only were the founders exceptionally successful, but they also played an active role in public life: Dr. Mechler was a member in numerous committees in the “Industrie- und Handelskammer” (chamber of commerce and industry) and Dr. Knapp in Offenbach’s local politics. He was honoured for his work by the city of Offenbach, also as a long-standing chairman of the city council, and was awarded honorary citizenship of the city.
