Eschersheim is a district or Stadtteil of Frankfurt am Main, Germany, with some 14,000 inhabitants.
Eschersheim, with a historical record beginning around 1000 A.D., is a district in the north of Frankfurt. It sits above the Nidda River and on the opposite bank from Heddernheim. The old part of Eschersheim, "Alt-Eschersheim," is situated between the railroad and the public swimming pool.
Around 1900 Eschersheim, previously a rural village without industry, became a wealthy residential area; it was incorporated into Frankfurt in 1910. In the twenties and thirties Walter Gropius built the new settlement "Am Lindenbaum," around the water tower in the southern part of the district. In the fifties, more living complexes were built.
Eschersheim's landmark is an old lime tree planted in the 17th century.
