Guided Tour
Experience Darmstadt’s cultural gem with a guided tour of Mathildenhöhe.
In 1899, Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig established the artists’ colony at Mathildenhöhe, positioning Darmstadt as a centre of Art Nouveau and the development of European art. Created with the aim of a reform that brought art and life together, the work of the artists’ colony expresses the dawn of Modernism through experimental architecture, new spatial art and pioneering design.
Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in July 2021. It is an outstanding example of experimental architecture of the early 20th century, consisting of a wedding tower, an exhibition building, an artists’ colony museum, a plane tree grove and artists’ houses.
