Hessen Architecture

Some examples of buildings we saw in Darmstadt, Hesse, Germany on walking tours around the city today and yesterday...

The Waldspirale is a Dr. Seuss-like apartment building by the Austrian artist Hundertwasser.


St. Ludwig's is a really unusual Catholic church modeled after the Pantheon (this is the interior)

The 'wedding tower' is part of the Art Nouveau artist colony section of town, Mathildenhöhe.

Lots of decorative elements on lots of buildings

Fachwerk in the nearby town of Dreieich where meteorology colleagues took us to dinner
