Many of the sights in Darmstadt date back to the times when the city was still an administrative seat of the Upper County of Katzenelnbogen, or from 1568 to 1806 as the residence of the Landgraves of Hesse-Darmstadt and then until 1919 as the capital of the Grand Duchy of Hesse and from 1919 to 1945 of the People's State of Hesse. In particular, the years under Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig, who founded the Darmstadt artists' colony in 1899 and thus shaped Darmstadt into a centre of Art Nouveau. Before that, Georg Möller, from 1810 the chief building officer and court building director of the Grand Duchy, had already decisively shaped the face of the city and this district.
