UNESCO-Welterbe. Die UNESCO führt eine Liste von Kulturdenkmälern und Naturstätten, die besonders signifikant sind. Sie werden zu einem “Kulturerbe” oder zu einem “Naturerbe” erklärt und werden von internationalen Verträgen geschützt. In Deutschland gibt es 46 Welterbestätten (43 Kulturerbestätten und 3 Naturerbestätten).
Die “Künstlerkolonie Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt” wurde 2021 zum Weltkulturerbe erklärt.

The Darmstadt Artists’ Colony on Mathildenhöhe, the highest elevation above the city of Darmstadt in west-central Germany, was established in 1897 by Ernst Ludwig, Grand Duke of Hesse, as a centre for emerging reform movements in architecture, arts and crafts. The buildings of the colony were created by its artist members as experimental early modernist living and working environments.

The colony was expanded during successive international exhibitions in 1901, 1904, 1908 and 1914. Today, it offers a testimony to early modern architecture, urban planning and landscape design, all of which were influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement and the Vienna Secession. The serial property consists of more than 30 buildings, such as artists’ studios, an exhibition hall, a chapel, gardens, monuments and statues.
