Herrngarten – Darmstadt 🚴‍♂️

Herrngarten is the largest and oldest park in the city. Its roots date back to the 16th century, when it was formed from three larger and several smaller gardens. Landgravine Caroline had the garden expanded and redesigned in the English style in 1766. The Goethe Monument, featuring a nude youthful figure depicting the poetic genius, was created by Ludwig Habich in 1903. Two years later, Habich also created a memorial stone for Princess Elisabeth of Hesse and by Rhine (1895–1903), who died in childhood. In 1918, the garden was nationalized and transformed into a public park: playgrounds were created, and a modern, semicircular steel and glass building was converted into a café. The park was destroyed in World War II but is now enjoying great popularity again. The beer garden and restaurant are open here every six months from spring to autumn. 🚴‍♂️

Nice park for a short break in Darmstadt. A lot of pedestrian traffic.
