In Roman times by Eschersheim was the Elizabeth Street, an important connection between Wiesbaden and Friedberg, with a river crossing on the Nidda. The oldest mention of Eschersheim dates from around 1000. It belonged to the Official Bornheimer mountain.

The Bailiwick remained exempt. She was a fief of Philip of Eppstein.

1320 pledged King Louis IV the Bornheimer mountain - and also Eschersheim - to Ulrich II of Hanau. 1336 the emperor then allowed the City of Frankfurt, to redeem the Bornheimer mountain in his place of Hanau. Emperor Charles IV in 1351 but renewed the pledge shaft for Hanau. 1434 Count Reinhard II of Hanau by Emperor Sigismund was even invested with the Bornheimer mountain. In the division of the county of Hanau in 1458 came to the mountain of Bornheimer county of Hanau-Münzenberg. The contradictory behavior of the Empire led naturally to the controversy between Frankfurt and Hanau, especially so from Frankfurt Hanauer area "surrounded" saw. All attempts of Frankfurt, to prevent this have failed. Although the claims were on the Frankfurt nineteen villages of the Office confirmed after a process lasting over a hundred years of Supreme Court, however, had neither Frankfurt nor the realm of the power to enforce the judgment. For example, the city of Frankfurt in 1481 finally let one on a comparison: Hanau renounced all claims in favor of Frankfurt on the villages Bornheim, Hausen and Oberrad and the Office received Bornheimer mountain otherwise exclusively. Eschersheim was thus finally hanauisch.

He made use of his law reformandi, its right as a sovereign use to determine the religion of his subjects, and put this largely for the county through binding. After the death of the last Count Hanauer, Johann Reinhard III., 1736 Landgrave Frederick I of Hesse-Kassel inherited due to inheritance contract from the year 1643 the county of Hanau-Münzenberg and hence the Eschersheim. Since then, the place belonged to Hesse-Kassel.

Notwithstanding its proximity to the armaments factories Heddernheimer Eschersheim was in World War II by bombing largely spared. Many residents of the city and other severely affected districts were able to be accommodated. In the settlements of the 1920s and 1930s after the war, many displaced people were accommodated. Despite this settlement compaction particularly the area northwest of the linden tree hill and the road was even more marked after the Second World War by nurseries.

On the fertile loess soil of Nidda slope, the fanned during the ice ages of the North over the Taunus ridge across been, was built a single population, the arable plains.

The first mention of the place as Phetterenheim in the early 9th Followed in the 12th century Century another: 1132 Archbishop Adalbert of Mainz bought from the open Gottfried vom Bruch and his son, the investiture of the Church in Praunheim with associated tithe "Hetdernheim, Urselo, Husun" (Heddernheim, Niederursel and sturgeon); church and fiscally belonged Heddernheim so then to Praunheim. Rights and ownership gave the Archbishop of Mainz cathedral chapter, which at the same time acquired jurisdiction over Heddernheim. Later, the place name in front of the home spellings Heider, Hödernheim, Hedernem, Hettersheim, Hetternheim. With the 1132 acquired rights enfeoffed the Mainz Cathedral Chapter Messrs. von Praunheim, a in the 12th and 13 Century influential knights who stood as Reichsministeriale at the top of the Frankfurt royal palace and were among the first documented tangible Frankfurt imperial mayor. One of them, knights tungsten was first documented in 1189, he was chairman of the court. Headquarters of the Lords of the Velcro was Praunheim castle in Praunheim. Many members of this family were members of the Mainz cathedral chapter or clergy were at the other churches in Mainz. The heirs of the Lords of Praunheim remained until the abolition of ecclesiastical property in the early 19th Century in the possession of the fief Heddernheim.

Early Modern Times

From a document from the year 1278 shows that Heddernheim belonged to the county Eppstein: The owner of the village so was the dean of Mainz, who had awarded the village as a fief; rulers were the Earls of Eppstein, in the 13th Century also introduced several archbishops of Mainz. This dual power led to such a document from the year 1508 shows that it in Heddernheim next to the village court of the Lords of Praunheim was the bailiwick of Eppsteiner court bailiffs. One consequence of belonging to the Count of Eppstein was that in Heddernheim and also belonged to neighboring villages Eppstein Weißkirchen and Oberursel in the first half of the 16th Century the Reformation was introduced in the sense of Martin Luther. Praunheim, with the Heddernheim was due to the fief of the lords of Praunheim closely possessed at that time, two sovereigns: the Counts of Solms and the Counts of Hanau: Count Friedrich Magnus of Solms led Praunheim 1544 in the Reformation. Middle of the 16th Century, died from the house Eppstein, making 1581 the county passed to the Catholic Archbishopric of Mainz. Archbishop of Mainz tried in the following years, in his newly acquired possessions to reintroduce the Catholic rite, giving him 17th in the first decade of the Century in white churches and Oberursel succeeded. All other places of the county were Eppstein of the counter-Reformation forced back to the Catholic confession, with one exception: Heddernheim. That is odd, because not only the Mainz ruler was Catholic, but also the masters of Riedt, which Lehnsrechte had fallen to the 1618th "The reason is not known, but is related to the old function of Praunheimer Mother Church". Apparently accepted the local Catholic authorities that Heddernheim which decreed although since 1512 a small chapel, but no independent parish and its Children were taught in Lutheran Praunheim religious, church belonged to Praunheim and thus the Lutheran Confessions. The stone chapel was dedicated to St. Michael, and was in the area of today's public park between the road and the Old Heddernheim Nidda. To Michael's chapel, the cemetery was for Catholics Heddernheims; Messrs. von Praunheim were buried in the chapel, the Lutherans in Praunheim. Yet for 1721 is known by a witness statement that the cemetery was a graveyard actually: A squire of Merlau time he had the churchyard door can bricked after the Niedwiesen because pigs had entered through that door into the churchyard, and the bones of the dead had been excavated.

Since the 1990s, on the northwestern edge of Heddernheim created further large housing developments on the former, elaborately renovated ground VDM-terrain (Mertonviertel and Riedwiese). There is near the metro station right on Zeilweg Urselbach the interesting, planned by Friedensreich Hundertwasser municipal daycare (Hundertwasser daycare). Meanwhile, in these settlements then the hillside began the construction of the residential area Riedberg so Heddernheim will form in a few years, even with the more distant Kalbach a cohesive neighborhood.
