Eschersheim (German pronunciation:[ˈɛʃɐshaɪm]) is a city district ofFrankfurt am Main,Germany. It is part of theOrtsbezirk Mitte-Nord and is subdivided into theStadtbezirke Eschersheim-Nord and Eschersheim-Süd.
Eschersheim, with a historical record beginning around 1000, is a district in the north of Frankfurt. It sits above theNidda River and on the opposite bank fromHeddernheim. The old part of Eschersheim, "Alt-Eschersheim", is situated between the railroad and the public swimming pool. The patronage was held since 1467 by the Benedictine monastery Seligenstadt. Ecclesiastical Middle Authority was the Archdeacon of the provost ofSt. Peter in Mainz.
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 thirtiesWalter 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.
One of Eschersheim's oldest landmarks is an ancientlime tree planted sometime shortly after 1648 to mark the end of theThirty Years' War.
