What You Will Do
Discover the charming Science City. A town both nationally and internationally important in science and in the research field, which has even inspired the famous tale of Frankenstein’s Monster in its castle. See the outstanding building designed by the world-renowned architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser – the Forest Spiral (Waldspirale).
Enjoy the city famous for its Art Nouveau architecture, and see the city's landmarks: the artists’ colony Mathildenhöhe. From the 19th century onwards, Darmstadt became a hub for research and tech companies, like its high tech center near Frankfurt’s airport known for its use by the European Space Agency. The “City of Science”, as it calls itself since 1997, also counts with the presence of many titans of the chemical, pharmaceutical IT, biotech, telecommunications, and mechatronic industries. It is without a doubt a place to wonder at how far Germany and Europe has gone, from the Middle Ages to the Space Age.
