Landschaftspark Lichtwiese

Landschaftspark Lichtwiese is a public park at the eastern edge of Darmstadt featuring rolling meadows, open grasslands, and interconnected walking paths. The space includes natural vegetation and clearings that support various outdoor activities and recreation throughout the year.

The area was forested until the late Middle Ages, transforming into meadowland by the 16th century. The earliest written record of the northern sections as shared pasture dates to 1574.

The park is home to facilities of the Technische Universität Darmstadt, which sit directly within the green landscape. Students and visitors move daily across the meadows, connecting academic buildings with outdoor spaces.

The park is accessible on foot and offers plenty of space to explore at your own pace. Keep in mind that parking areas and access points may vary depending on the season and campus activity.

The Darmbach stream runs through the park grounds and underwent extensive restoration work between 2009 and 2012. This restoration effort improved water conditions and created more natural habitats within the space.
