Steubenplatz

Steubenplatz is a public square in central Darmstadt bordered by administrative buildings and a major art museum. Green spaces define the plaza, creating an open area that connects different parts of the city.

The square was built on the site of two former railway stations that ceased operations in the early 1900s. This transformation allowed a modern public space to be created in the heart of Darmstadt.

The Kunsthalle building on the southern side hosts regular art exhibitions where visitors can see contemporary works and cultural events. The space serves as a gathering place where the community engages with different forms of artistic expression.

The plaza is easily reached by bus at several stops and has pedestrian pathways leading to different parts of the city. Around the area you will find restaurants, shops, and supermarkets for everyday needs.

Between 1947 and 1948, one of the former railway buildings served as a vocational school for Jewish displaced persons after World War II. This chapter in the site's past remains an important part of its story today.
