About

The Darmstadt Artists' Colony refers to the Jugendstil artists' group and buildings near Rosenhöhe Park in Mathildenhöhe, Darmstadt, where these artists lived and worked in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They were largely financed by patrons and worked with one another, taste permitting.

UNESCO recognized the Mathildenhöhe artists' colony in Darmstadt as a World Heritage Site in 2021, because of its testimony to early modern architecture and landscape design, and its influence in the reform movements of the early 20th century.
