Darmstadt - City of Science with Charm and Tradition

4 5

www.fuu.de www.fuu-languages.com

Darmstadt has developed from a former ducal seat into a city of science and culture. In addition, it enjoys excellent transport connections to the nearby banking metropolis of Frankfurt and its international airport; it is also close to Wiesbaden, the capital city and political centre of the federal state of Hesse. However, Darmstadt has plenty to offer in its own right: since 1997 it has officially been known as a “city of science” thanks to the exceptionally high concentration of employment in research and development.

Over 30 scientific facilities and research companies are located in Darmstadt. The city is home to a renowned Technical Univer-sity, two Universities of Applied Sciences and several private scientific and research institutes. Together, they represent a variety of scientific disciplines, all of which can be debated in the Talik Chalibi-designed “darmstadtium” science and conference centre, which opened its doors in 2007.

The city and its surrounding region are also among the leading economic areas in Germany; in 2010, the European Commis-sion named it one of Europe’s top ten most innovative regions. With the largest software cluster in Europe, the area is known as the “Silicon Valley of Europe”. Alongside information technol-ogy, the chemical industry, mechanical engineering and space technology form the economic focus of the region.

In terms of culture, too, Darmstadt has always led the way in in-novation. Indeed, the city has a long tradition of groundbreaking and revolutionary creativity; an early example is the Mathilden-höhe artists’ colony. Founded over one hundred years ago, it established Darmstadt’s reputation as a significant and widely renowned centre of Art Nouveau.

The city caters for all cultural tastes. With several sights, includ-ing the former ducal residential palace on the Market Square, the orangery, the Rosenhöhe park, the hunting lodge and St Ludwig’s church, as well as a variety of literary, artistic and mu-sical leisure activities, there is sure to be something for every-one. A trip to the State Theatre, the Hessian State Museum or to the Hessian State Archives is also highly recommended. Home to people from over 140 different countries, Darmstadt enjoys an international flair. An intercultural bureau supports this coexistence and cooperation with a wide variety of activities. Darmstadt’s international potential was recognised early on by the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, and as early as 1975 the city was awarded the European prize for its outstanding role in promoting the concept of European unity. Since 1958, the city has maintained 15 town-twinning partnerships and today coop-erates with other several international organisations.

All of these strengths make Darmstadt the ideal location in which to learn the German language and culture in excit-ing and inspiring surroundings. Local residents, too, can of course improve their foreign language skills, such as business English, or join one of the many other foreign language courses.
