Gießen (IPA: [ˈgiːsən]) is a town in the German federal state (Bundesland) of Hessen, capital of both the district of Gießen and the administrative region of Gießen. The population is approximately 71,000, with roughly 22,000 university students.
The name comes from Giezzen, as it was first referred to in 1197, which refers to the position of the town between several rivers, lakes and streams.[citation needed] The greatest stream in Gießen is the river Lahn, that divides the town in two parts (west and east), roughly 50 kilometres north of Frankfurt.
