Mathildenhöhe World Heritage Festival with exhibition opening 4–3–2–1 Darmstadt

Under the patronage of Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig von Hessen und bei Rhein, the Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt was developed into a center for outstanding artists, architects and designers at the beginning of the 20th century. Here, visionary artists sought the path to modernism and created a unique synthesis of the arts consisting of buildings, gardens and sculptures as part of four major exhibitions between 1901 and 1914.
 

In July 2021, Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, making it one of the most important cultural sites in the world.

From September 20 to 22, 2024, the Mathildenhöhe celebrated its World Heritage Festival, including the opening of the exhibition "4–3–2–1 Darmstadt" in the extensively renovated Exhibition Hall.

The multifaceted special exhibition entitled "4–3–2–1 Darmstadt" is a show on the art topography of Darmstadt. Outstanding paintings, sculptures, graphics, photographs and video art from the Darmstadt Municipal Art Collection shed light on historical events in the city and present extraordinary personalities who have lived and worked here.
