The son of the Limbach hosiery manufacturer Julius Esche (1814–1867) and his wife Anna Clara Esche b. Clauß (1824–1920) became a co-owner of the Moritz Samuel Esche hosiery factory in 1867 after the death of his father , in which his uncle Theodor Esche and Eduard Wiede were other partners . In 1870 it was relocated to the property at Goethestrasse 5 in Chemnitz because of the more favorable railway connection to Zwickau , while the Limbach factories were sold and continued by the Conradi & Friedemann jersey factory . The company was the largest hosiery factory in Germany. In 1886 a new building was built in (Chemnitz-) Kappel on Zwickauer Straße, largely using stone and iron. The buildings are characterized by their yellow decorative elements in red clinker. In the factory stockings and underwear of all kinds were manufactured and delivered to customers all over the world. In 1898 about 500 workers were employed in the hosiery factory, another 2,500 homeworkers supplied.

After the death of Ernst Otto Clauss (1843-1889) he was elected as a cartel candidate in a by-election in the 1st constituency of the city of Chemnitz in the 2nd Chamber of the Saxon State Parliament. He took up his mandate on January 14, 1890 and resigned on June 6, 1893. Esche carried the honorary title of a (royal Saxon) commercial councilor and was the owner of the Lauterbach manor .
