    For a long time it lay in a slumber, then the renovation followed. Part of Darmstadt's historic city wall is now open to the public again. Actually, it's two walls. And they have a lot to tell.

    In Darmstadt, part of the historic city and prison walls on Erich-Ollenhauer-Promenade were reopened on Tuesday. For three years, the Technical University (TU) had it renovated in accordance with historical monuments. Now it has been handed over to the city and its citizens as a "symbolic gift for World Heritage", as the TU announced.

    The construction of the city wall in Darmstadt began in 1330. It was lined with square defensive towers. From the 15th century onwards, a second wall was built in front of it, the Zwinger. Material: basalt stones. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadtmauer_(Darmstadt)
