Wandering Through Mathildenhohe
Overview of the tour in Darmstadt
Welcome to Mathildenhohe, Darmstadt - a place where art and architecture come together to create a stunning expression of Jugendstil style. This area is home to the Mathildenhohe Artists' Colony, a group of artists who worked together to create a community centered around art, beauty, and creativity. The buildings here are characterized by their ornate decorations, curved lines, and intricate designs.
As we continue our tour, we'll also explore the Mathildenhohe artists' colony. This was a group of artists who lived and worked in this area during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We'll see some of the houses they built and discuss the impact that these artists had on the art world, and how their work helped to shape the Jugendstil movement. Throughout the tour, we'll take time to appreciate the small details that make this area so special and also take a moment to reflect on the history of this neighborhood and how it has evolved.

I will be waiting for you at the entrance of the Hochzeitturm. I recommend walking up to the tower from Ostbahnhof station on the Mathildenhöhe side.
Things to note
- The entrance to the Hochzeitturm or Wedding Tower has a separate fee. Due to a large number of weddings, visitors may not be allowed to visit the tower on certain high-volume days.
