The fountain provides cool, moist air. Especially in summer, a great refreshment.

Until the beginning of the 20th century, in addition to a few private bathhouses, DA only had the Großer Woog as a public bathing facility. However, as the importance of hygiene became known and the desire for a public bath grew louder, the city of DA decided in 1905 to build a public bath and announced a competition, which was won by Franz Thyriot from Berlin. Nevertheless, the city commissioned August Buxbaum to revise his own design and implement it. The Zentralbad, completed in 1909, had two gender-separated swimming halls on the west side, steam, air, and medical baths in the middle between the two swimming halls, and on the east side also gender-separated tub and shower baths. They extended over two floors and primarily served as a cleaning bath for citizens on the ground floor, whose houses were mostly not equipped with bathrooms (Bessunger Turnhalle). In the basement, in addition to the technical facilities, the laundry and the dog bath were housed. The cold water reservoir was located in the tip of the tower above the main entrance. In front of the bath on the south and north sides stood two temples, which were used as waiting rooms and public restrooms. During the First World War, the pools of the Volksbad were covered with wooden beams and used as a workshop for sewing soldiers' uniforms; during the Second World War, the Zentralbad was used exclusively for delousing soldiers and prisoners of war. On the night of the fire, the women's bath burned down completely, the slate-covered roof and the copper tower dome were lost, and the outdoor area with the two pavilions was destroyed. To make the bath usable again as soon as possible, provisional reconstruction and modernization of the interior fittings were begun. In 1962, a training pool was built in place of the heavily damaged women's bath by Ernst Samesreuther, and the outdated boiler house was replaced by a modern facility. The steam and air bath was renovated and completely altered in 1967. A new building in the contour of the old building but in modern architecture was created on the site of the former women's bath. The Zentralbad, renamed "Jugendstilbad", received the Hessian Heritage Protection Prize in 2009. Source: https://www.darmstadt-stadtlexikon.de/z/zentralbad.html

Simply good in any season. Sporty as well as contemplative.

This is just one part of the forest art trail (art, nature, water) in Darmstadt; there is much more to discover.

The monument in honor of Georg Ludwig Hartig, a chief forester, was designed by the architect and city planner Goerg Moller and erected in 1844.

It is always a beautiful sight when a large number of storks look for food in the freshly mown meadows.

The title is wrong. Better would be: View of Roßdorf and Ober-Ramstadt
