context_page_description: Eberstadt is the southern-most borough of Darmstadt in Hessen, Germany with a population of 21,687.
context_section_description: Alt-Eberstadt is the oldest part of Eberstadt. Contrary to Villenkolonie the houses here are predominantly build wall-on-wall. Some houses in Oberstraße and Heidelberger Landstraße are older than 300 years. 
  Many of these old buildings provide an insight into an agricultural past of the village. Along the Heidelberger Landstraße are three notable points in Alt-Eberstadt, all of them are also tramstations.
  The northernmost first is the town-centre, which is at Wartehalle, the central bus- & tramstation. From this point southwards is the shoppingstreet of Eberstadt, which runs up to the second notable point, the Modaubrücke, where the Heidelberger Landstraße crosses the creek Modau, and the intersection of north-south and east-west roads is located. The Protestant church, first mentioned in  1379, marks the third point. It is built upon a hill, where it can be seen from all directions, making it a landmarks of Eberstadt.
