Mathildenhöhe

Mathildenhöhe, Darmstadt

Together with cities like Brussels, Paris, Vienna, Glasgow and Barcelona, Germany's Darmstadt is rightly considered a jewel for the Jugendstil. The Mathildenhöhe hill is an eye-catcher, because the Art Nouveau artists' colony of Darmstadt settled here between 1899 and 1914, at the invitation of art lover and grand duke Ernst Lodewijk of Hessen-Darmstadt. The goal was to become a literal and figurative highlight for modern architecture and the art world: the innovative artists, architects and designers were committed to an environment where art was connected to life. 

In this category you can find beautiful articles that originate in Darmstadt or are inspired by various art objects that originated on the Mathildenhöhe. Look for example at the gift voucher with the famous woodcut by Peter Behrens (1899-1903), the wallpaper with elegant ginkgo leaves and the glass sculpture of a peacock.
