On the weekend of the German World Heritage Day (3. and 4. June
2023), the Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt celebrates its first World Heritage
Festival.
The highlight on Saturday (3.6.) is the Illumination Festival, which
illuminates the grounds and buildings as in the days of the Artists'
Colony more than 100 years ago. In addition to the Artists' Colony
Museum and the Wedding Tower, House Olbrich and Large Glückert House are
open. Music, arts and crafts and a gastronomic offer complete the
programme.
On Sunday (4.6.) there will be various guided tours of the grounds
and through the artists' houses. Visitors will gain insight into the
origins of the Artists' Colony and their way of life. From the Wedding
Tower you can enjoy the view over the Mathildenhöhe. Music, a family
programme, artisans and gastronomic offerings complete the programme on
Sunday as well.
