This deed is the first document mentioning Eschborn. It concerned arable land, 43 serfs and a vineyard, showing that the town was already a flourishing settlement. There is also evidence of Eschborn\u2019s historical vibrance found in remarkable archaeological finds spanning from the Bronze Age to the Romans and Alamanni up to the early Middle Ages.<\/p>\n

1250 years later, Eschborn is a modern trade and service centre in the Frankfurt Rhine-Main metropolitan region and the centre of Germany. The skyline of the South Industrial Park is symbolic of the dynamics of a long, eventful and successful history.<\/p>\n

Anyone wishing to learn more about the city\u2019s eventful history will appreciate the interesting video portrait on the city\u2019s website at www.eschborn.de\/1250-Jahre<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perspectives on the city<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To mark the city\u2019s 1250th anniversary, the city of Eschborn commissioned the Frankfurt filmmaker Pola Sell to produce interviews with citizens about their life in Eschborn and their perspectives on the city.<\/p>\n

For the interview shots, a blue sofa was set up in the interviewees\u2019 favourite places at the end of June. The \u201cEschborn Sofa\u201d was always located in the middle of a public space, on Eschenplatz, in the sculpture park Niederh\u00f6chstadt or even on a paddock. On the sofa, long-time residents, newcomers, a female coach driver, a city planner, two recent graduates, a pizzeria owner and two petrol station operators talk about themselves and what they think makes Eschborn so special. The film project shows Eschborn\u2019s diversity and the people who live in this city.<\/p>\n

The map and videos enable older residents to share their knowledge and their city\u2019s history or favourite places so that they are saved from being forgotten and do not fall into oblivion. New residents are given the opportunity to learn about the city.<\/p>\n

Special logo marks the city of Eschborn\u2019s 1250th anniversary <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Heinrich von Kleist School\u2019s advanced art course developed a logo in cooperation with the Institute for Commercial Graphics, especially for the anniversary. A small jury of teachers, politicians and the cultural officer selected their favourite from ten submissions, eventually choosing the design by Stella Svalina, Tom Barton and Leon Steinbach.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt was not an easy decision. All of the students developed creative and original ideas and presented them professionally,\u201d said jury member Mayor Adnan Shaikh, praising the young designers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The winning logo is well suited for use in promotional items due to its appealing shape, which is reminiscent of a coat of arms. It is versatile, lettering can be integrated, and colours can be changed. The logo shows a differentiated group of houses, creating a connection between the old town centre of Eschborn and the industrial area, with a dividing line, which symbolises the Westerbach, and the town rests on the roots of an ash tree.<\/p>\n
