Eschersheim

Eschersheim, with a historical record beginning around 1000, is a district in the north of Frankfurt.

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.

One of Eschersheim's oldest landmarks is an ancient lime tree planted sometime shortly after 1648 to mark the end of the Thirty Years' War.
