About the City
Darmstadt was chartered in 1330 and became the residence of the Hessen-Darmstadt line (a grand duchy from 1806). Notable landmarks include the statue of Ludwig X, the ducal castle (1568–95), the Kranichstein hunting lodge, now a museum and game park; and the Russian Church (1898–99), commissioned by Tsar Nicholas II in honor of Tsarina Alexandra, a native of Darmstadt.

At the Mathildenhöhe, east of the city, is the artists’ colony, established 1899. The Darmstädter Gespräche, a seminar devoted to intellectual issues and combined with art exhibits, is an annual event. Darmstadt is a highly diversified industrial centre. Its principal manufactures are chemicals, machinery, radios, and kitchen ranges. The city is surrounded by the densely wooded recreational areas of Odenwald and Bergstrasse, Taunus and Spessart and is located 20 miles south of Frankfurt and 40 miles north of Heidelberg.
