Description

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.LandscapeEschborn 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. A famous stop there is the 'Fuchstanz' (<Dance of the Fox>) on the way to the top, where you can stop for drinks, coffee, snacks and even complete meals. Cars must stay parked outside on marked parking areas along the main access roads.ArchitectureLarge areas of the town are still undeveloped and green expanses fuse in with several high-rises, with a brook passing by the Rathaus and running close to the S-Bahn railway line, that joins the river Nidda . Among large corporations that have chosen Eschborn, the high-rises of Deutsche Bank, Vodafone, T Systems, Ernst & Young are unmissable. The street housing the Deutsche Bank offices is named Alfred-Herrhausen-Allee, after Alfred Herrhausen, Chairman of Deutsche Bank who was killed on 30 November 1989 by the RAF assailants near his home in Bad Homburg . Most of "old" Eschborn is actually on the street Hauptstraße near the Eschborn S-Bahn station, including the Rathaus and some old churches. The FC Eschborn football team, established in 1930, plays for the Oberliga Hessen . The former village of Niederhöchstadt and Schwalbach to the West are particularly green stretches with some pretty houses and nice walks and hills, before you head further north towards Kronberg, in the foothills of the Taunus mountains.
