Economy and Transport

The constituent communities of Brauerschwend and Storndorf each have a primary school, a kindergarten and a grocer's shop. Furthermore there is a butcher's shop in each as well as branches of the Kreissparkasse/VR-Bank. The community's main industrial area is to be found in Storndorf. Moreover, the district rubbish tip, administered by the ZAV ("Zentralstelle für Arbeitsvermittlung", or "Central Post for Work Placement"), lies in the community's outlying countryside. In the constituent community of Hopfgarten is one of Hesse's few knacker's yards.

Renzendorf is home to the community's only railway station, and a location of the "Bäckerei Karl" (bakery) whose head office is in Storndorf.

Brauerschwend and Storndorf each have a medical general practice and a dental practice.

Transport

Through the community runs Federal Highway ("Bundesstraße") 254 from Alsfeld by way of Lauterbach to Fulda. Whereas until a few years ago it went through some of the communities, there is now a bypass.
