Kapellplatz, Memorial square and park in Darmstadt, Germany
The Kapellplatz features scattered gravestones, mosaic paths, and trees arranged across a public space in central Darmstadt.
The square dates back to 1739 and contained a cemetery chapel built in 1601, which served the second Darmstadt cemetery until its demolition in 1868.
A seven-meter granite cross and bronze sculptures by Thomas Duttenhoefer form a memorial for victims of World War II and Nazi persecution.
The square provides access to multiple amenities, including a pharmacy, supermarket, bakery, and public transportation within 700 meters of Darmstadt center.
The ruins of a neo-Gothic parish church, destroyed during a 1944 air raid, remain in the southeast corner of the square.
