    With an area of around 33 hectares, the forest cemetery is Darmstadt's largest cemetery. It opened in 1914. The architect was the Darmstadt city planning officer August Buxbaum. The cemetery was laid out in a horseshoe shape and opened up symmetrically. In the middle a north-south axis runs from the southern entrance up to the younger sections of the cemetery.

    The striking forest cemetery was laid out at the beginning of World War 1 and opened in 1914 on the western edge of Darmstadt. It is characterized by the impressive architecture of the cemetery buildings. In addition to numerous well-known personalities from the Darmstadt region, the Fire Night victims of September 11, 1944 were also buried in a mass grave here.
    Approx. 12,000 Darmstadt residents fell victim to the enemy attack on the densely populated city center.
