Eschenbach is located in the valley of the river of the same name, at the foot of the Swabian Jura.

With an area of 480 ha Eschenbach is one of the smallest villages in the district of Göppingen.

Since 1970, the municipality forms together with the neighboring community Heiningen the Gemeindeverwaltungsverband Voralb.

The eponymous Eschenbach springs beneath the "Weisse Mauer" (white wall) on the Fuchseck mountain.

It changed hands of several owners and was finally divided from 1476: two thirds from Iltishausen (Iltishof) and Lotenberg belonged to the barons of Liebenstein, the rest was owned by the monastery of Adelberg and after the Reformation since 1534 by the Duchy of Württemberg.

The place lived mainly from the animals: cattle, horses and sheep, especially because the arable soils were not very productive.

Thereby, the municipality is able to offer at any time every three-year-old child a place in a kindergarten in the community.
