The RMU Social Events offer an opportunity to explore the Rhine-Main region and to get connected with peers from the RMU alliance. In this event, we invite you to explore one of the landmarks of Darmstadt: the artists' colony and UNESCO World Heritage Site Mathildenhöhe. The Mathildenhöhe area was founded in 1899 to become a focal point of Art Nouveau and European art development. Created with the aim of reforming art and life, the work of the artists' colony expressed the dawn of modernity through experimental architecture, new spatial art and pioneering design. In 2021 it was recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Site for its influence in the reform movements of the early 20th century.

A guided tour leads through the colony and the famous wedding tower.
