In 1945 it was seized by the United States Army and was used as a combat airfield by Ninth Air Force during the Western Allied invasion of Germany.

After the war the airfield became part of "Camp Eschborn", one of the United States Army facilities in the Frankfurt Area.

Eschborn Airfield was built by the Luftwaffe about 1942 to provide air defense of the Frankfurt am Main area from Allied bomber attacks.

A 1,600 meters (5,200 ft) concrete runway, aligned 12/30 was laid down, along with taxiways, dispersal aircraft hardstands, a support area and other buildings.

Jagdgeschwader 106 (JG 106), a Focke-Wulf Fw 190A day interceptor fighter unit was assigned to the airfield in March 1943.

[4] Under Army control in July 1945, for a while Eschborn became a Displaced Persons camp while Europe tried to sort out the masses of people forcefully removed from their home nations during the war.

Parts of the former military base are being redeveloped for the Arboretum Main-Taunus and into a commercial area (Camp Phoenix-Park).
