Essershausen is a village (Ortsteil) of the municipality of Weilmünster in the district of Limburg-Weilburg in central Hesse.

A second castle complex was located northeast of the village on a mountain spur surrounded by the Gundersbach on the extension of the Bermbacher Weg in the forest.

Visible from the forest path are the neck ditch and behind it the castle hill on the mountain spur above the Gundersbach.

[1] In the course of the territorial reform in Hesse, on 31 December 1970 the former market town of Weilmünster in the Oberlahn district merged voluntarily with the previously independent municipalities of Aulenhausen, Dietenhausen, Ernsthausen, Laimbach, Langenbach, Laubuseschbach, Lützendorf, Möttau, Rohnstadt and Wolfenhausen to form the new enlarged municipality of Weilmünster.

There is the village community center on Brückenstraße, the sports field in Weilwiesen, a children's playground and cycling and hiking trails.
