Eschborn is a town in the Main-Taunus district, Hesse, Germany. It is part of the Frankfurt Rhein-Main urban area and has a population of 20,789 (2009). Eschborn is home to numerous corporations due to its location in the central part of the Frankfurt urban area.

Geography

Location

Most of "old" Eschborn is actually on the street Hauptstraße near the Eschborn S-Bahn station, including the Rathaus (Town Hall) and some old churches.

The former village of Niederhöchstadt and local part of Eschborn, with a different phone area code (same as the northern neighbour community of Kronberg) and Schwalbach (Taunus) to the West are particularly green stretches with some pretty houses, nice walks in the foothills of the Taunus mountains.

Landscape

Eschborn provides expansive views of the Taunus mountain ranges, especially the 'Altkönig' and behind it the 'Feldberg' up to elevations of around 880 m above sealevel. From Eschborn to the north there are numerous hiking and biking trails leading up to these green mountain zones. In winter, along and up those hills you will even find cross country skiing slopes as well as downhill sled runs used by large crowds of people, esp. on weekends.

Buildings and architecture

Large areas of the town are still undeveloped and green expanses fuse in with several high-rises, with a brook passing by the Rathaus (Town Hall) and running close to the S-Bahn railway line, that joins the river Nidda (which in turn is a tributary of the River Main that flows through Frankfurt am Main). Among large corporations that have chosen Eschborn, the high-rises of Deutsche Bank, LG (formerly rented from Vodafone (formerly named Arcor)), Deutsche Telekom (T Systems), Ernst & Young and Deutsche Börse Group (building named "The Cube") are unmissable.

The street housing the Deutsche Bank offices is named Alfred-Herrhausen-Allee, after Alfred Herrhausen, former Chairman of Deutsche Bank who was killed on 30. November 1989 by the RAF (Red Army Faction, the Baader-Meinhof Group) assailants near his home in Bad Homburg.

Town partnerships

  • {{flagicon|POR}} Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal since 2010
  • {{flagicon|MLT}} Zabbar, Malta since 2010

Public transport

The S-Bahn train station Eschborn Süd (south) happens to be the last stop on the route still falling under the Zone 50 which covers Frankfurt (excluding suburbs), and hence means a lot to employees who can commute using the same monthly pass. Two S-Bahn lines (S 3 and S4) operate to Eschborn. They both connect to Frankfurt Central Station and end in Darmstadt main station (S3) or Langen (Hesse) station (S4).[2]
