Darmstadt-Dieburg

Darmstadt-Dieburg is a district in central Hesse with approximately 23 municipalities spread across a mix of rural and semi-urban areas. The region connects various communities with different characters, from larger towns to smaller villages.

The district was created in 1977 through an administrative reform that merged several independent municipalities. This reorganization established a unified administrative structure for the region.

The municipalities here host regular festivals and markets that bring neighbors together and shape local identity. These gatherings reflect how residents maintain connections to their communities throughout the seasons.

The A67 motorway connects the district to major cities and makes traveling in straightforward. Local roads and public transport systems link the different municipalities within the region.

The municipality of Messel is known for a fossil pit where scientists discovered complete skeletons of prehistoric animals. These finds, dating back millions of years, provide a window into an ancient world and attract paleontologists from around the globe.
