Eschborn is a suburb of Frankfurt in the Main-Taunus district, Hesse, Germany. As of 2004, it had a population of 20,580, but boasts fulltime employment of over 30,000 people. It has one borough, Eschborn-Niederhoechstadt.

Eschborn is the home town of state premier Roland Koch, as well as the site of numerous corporations which profit from proximity to the city of Frankfurt without paying city taxes there.

The S-Bahn train station Eschborn Sued (South) happens to be the last stop on the route still falling under the Zone 50 which covers Frankfurt (excluding suburbs), and hence means a lot to employees who can commute using the same monthly pass.

Eschborn provides expansive views of the Taunus mountain ranges. Large areas of the town are still undeveloped and green expanses fuse in with several high-rises, with a brook passing by the Rathaus (Town Hall) and running close to the S-Bahn train line, that joins the river Nidda (which in turn is a tributary of the River Main that cuts through Frankfurt am Main).

Among large corporations that have chosen Eschborn, the high-rises of Deutsche Bank, Arcor, 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 unknown assailants near his home in Bad Homburg (another Frankfurt suburb).

Most of "old" Eschborn is actually on the street Eschborn Hauptstrasse near the Eschborn S-Bahn station, including the Rathaus (Town Hall) and some old churches. The FC Eschborn soccer team, established in 1930, plays for the Oberliga Hessen (IV)

Niederhoechstadt and Schwalbach are particularly green stretches with some pretty houses and nice walks and hills, before you head further north towards Kronberg, a the foothills of the Taunus mountains.
