In the late 1930s construction for a Luftwaffe airfield began at Eschborn. After the end of World War II in 1945, the airfield was taken over and extended by US troops. At this time, parking areas have been built which were characteristical for US airfields then, with rectangular-shaped pads alternating left and right of a taxiway. Those can still be seen on satellite images as shadows in the southwestern part of the field.
At the same time, today's Frankfurt Rhein/Main airport was also extended. Already during the Berlin Airlift in 1948/49, Rhein/Main was more important than Eschborn. In the following years, Eschborn became a US Army post, which included a simple helipad "Camp Eschborn". In the early 1990s, the troops were withdrawn and thus the helipad was closed.
Large parts of the former airfield have been transformed into a park. Of the buildings, a hangar and some ruins still exist.
