Historical city- and prison wall

Historische Stadt- und Gefängnismauer

A wall with history

 

A side entrance to the old Darmstadt prison on the Erich Ollenhauer Promenade was restored by the Darmstadt Technical University in accordance with the preservation order and now invites visitors to linger. Built in 1834 as the Grand Ducal Provincial Detention Centre, the building was used as a prison until 1970 and includes part of the 800-year-old city wall. The place combines city history and modernity, reminds us of old borders and makes a nice stopover on the way to Mathildenhöhe.
