Dörnigheim is the biggest district of the town of Maintal in Hesse, Germany.

It is situated on the right, or northern, bank of the Main river.

According to a document Wolfbodo donated the settlement area of Maingau [de] including "Turinchheim" (old name of the city) to the Abbot of Lorsch.

The proprietorship was shared between the counts of Hanau and the bishops of Mainz.

In 1964 Dörnigheim received city rights because it grew and became more than 10000 inhabitants.
