Finally he's done! The view of the Hessian State Museum is clear and that looks good. Unfortunately, you cannot green the square because of the underground. Well, then people make him come alive!

Staatstheater Darmstadt

Highlight • Monument

When it opened in 1972, the Darmstadt State Theater was the most expensive theater building in post-war German history! This purist building is highly recommended, especially for architecture enthusiasts. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staatstheater_Darmstadt?oldformat=true
