Eschollbrücken (in the local dialect: Eschollbrigge) is a district of Pfungstadt in the southern Hessian district of Darmstadt-Dieburg with around 3000 inhabitants. The district is divided into the place Eschollbrücken and the district Eich .

Geographical location

Eschollbrücken lies to the west of the Pfungstädter core city, in between runs the federal highway 67. In the south the district Hahn joins.

The landscape of Eschollbrücken is just before the Hessian Ried , part of the Upper Rhine Plain . Some ditches that once served to drain the Hessian Ried, but now only occasionally carry water, meander through the landscape. The Sandbach , a tributary of the Modau , which flows into the Altrhein at the Kühkopf nature reserve , flows through the fields north of the village.

The eastern border of the built-up area is formed by a forest already on Pfungstädter district.
