The "Landfrauenverein" (“Countrywomen’s Club”) has been active in Eßweiler since 1962. In the early 1970s, the "Heimat- und Verkehrsverein" (“Local History and Transport Club”) was founded, which runs the "Landscheidhütte" and to which the theatre group also belongs. To support the fire brigade, the "Feuerwehrförderverein „St. Florian“ Eßweiler" (“Eßweiler Saint Florian Fire Brigade Promotional Association”) was founded. Other clubs in the municipality are the "Alten- und Krankenpflegeverein" (club for care of the elderly and infirm), the local SPD association and the "Luftsportverein Eßweiler (vorm. Landstuhl) e.
