Darmstadt is a city in the Bundesland (federal state) of Hesse in Germany. Germany (Deutschland is a Federal Republic consisting of sixteen States, known in German as Länder (singular Hesse (Hessen is a state of Germany with an area Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant is a Country in Central Europe. It is located in the southern part of the Rhine Main Metropolitan Area. It is also one the few cities (as opposed to smaller towns) in Germany which does not lie close to a river or coast.

The city of Darmstadt was founded by the Counts of Katzenelnbogen in 1330, though settlement in the area is known to have been as early as the late 11th century. Katzenelnbogen is the name of a castle and small city in the district of Rhein-Lahn-Kreis in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Later it was historically dominated by administration (being the seat of the former Landgraves of Hessen-Darmstadt), with industry (especially chemicals) as well as large science and tertiary education sectors becoming important from the early 20th century onwards. The Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt (Landgrafschaft Hessen-Darmstadt was a member state of the Holy Roman Empire. The element Darmstadtium (atomic number 110) is named after Darmstadt, having been synthetisized in a research facility nearby. Darmstadtium (dɑrmˈʃtætiəm formerly known as Ununnilium is a Chemical element with the symbol Ds and Atomic number 110

History

Origins

The name Darmstadt first appears towards the end of the 11th century, then Darmundestat; Literally translated, the current German name Darmstadt means "Intestine City". Wixhausen is a village in southern Hesse, Germany. Covering an area of 23 This is just a coincidence however, and the origins of the name are unknown. ^[3] Unlike even locals often believe, it does not derives from the 'Darmbach', a small stream formerly running through the city, now being uncovered and partly renaturated, to add more character to the inner city. In Urban design and Urban planning, daylighting is the redirection of a Stream into an above-ground channel ^[4] In fact the stream received its current name much later, after the city, not vice versa. ^[3]

Darmstadt was chartered as a city by the Holy Roman Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian in 1330, belonging to the counts of Katzenelnbogen. The Holy Roman Emperor (Römischer Kaiser or Römisch-Deutscher Kaiser Romanorum Imperator was the elected monarch ruling over the many varying numbers of states Louis IV ( 1 April[[ 282]] &ndash 11 October 1347) called the Bavarian, of the house of Wittelsbach, was the Duke of Bavaria The County of Katzenelnbogen ( Chatti Melibokus) was a County of the Holy Roman Empire in the Middle Rhine area which ^[5] The city, then called Darmstait, became a secondary residence for the counts, with a small castle being established at the site of the current, much larger edifice. ^[6]

When the house of Katzenelnbogen became extinct in 1479, the city was passed to the Landgraviate of Hesse, and was seat of the ruling landgraves (1567-1806) and thereafter (to 1918) of the Grand Dukes of Hesse. The Landgraviate of Hesse (Landgrafschaft Hessen was a Landgraviate of the Holy Roman Empire. Landgrave ( Dutch landgraaf, German Landgraf; French landgrave; Latin comes magnus, comes patriae Hesse (Hessen in German is a region of west-central Germany. Originally the western part of the Landgraviate of Thuringia, in the mid 13th century it was ^[7].

Industrial age

The city grew in population during the 19th century from little over 10,000 to 72,000 inhabitants. The 19th century of the Common Era began on January 1, 1801 and ended on December 31, 1900, according to the Gregorian calendar A polytechnical school, which later became a Technical University now known as TU Darmstadt, was established in 1877. The Darmstadt University of Technology, whose official name (also its official English name) is "Technische Universität Darmstadt" (abbreviated TU Darmstadt) in

In the beginning of the 20th century Darmstadt was an important centre for the art movement of Jugendstil, the German variant of Art Nouveau. Art Nouveau ( nu vo anglicised /ˈɑːt nuːvəu/ ( French for 'new art' also known as Jugendstil ( German for 'youth style' is an international Art Nouveau ( nu vo anglicised /ˈɑːt nuːvəu/ ( French for 'new art' also known as Jugendstil ( German for 'youth style' is an international Annual architectural competitions led to the building of many architectural treasures of this period. Also during this period, in 1912 the chemist Anton Kollisch, working for the pharmaceutical company Merck, first synthesised the chemical MDMA (ecstasy) in Darmstadt. Merck KGaA (EMD Chemicals in the United States and Canada is a German -based chemical and Pharmaceutical company. MDMA ( 34-methylenedioxy- N -methylamphetamine) most commonly known today by the street name Ecstasy (often abbreviated E, X, Darmstadt's municipal area was extended in 1937 to include the neighbouring localities of Arheilgen and Eberstadt, and in 1938 the city was separated administratively from the surrounding district (Kreis).

Nazi Germany

Darmstadt was the first city in Germany to force Jewish shops to close in early 1933, shortly after the Nazis took power in Germany (during this first incident, shops were only closed for a day, for "endanger[ing] communal order and tranquility")^[8] In 1942, over 3,000 Jews from Darmstadt were first gathered in a collection camp in the Liebigschule, and then deported to concentration camps^[9] where most were killed. PLEASE TAKE NOTE************ Internment is the imprisonment or confinement of people commonly in large groups without trial

Darmstadt's old city centre was largely destroyed in a British bombing raid on Darmstadt on September 11, 1944 (Darmstadt had first been raided on July 30, 1940, one of 35 attacks to come). Darmstadt was bombed a number of times during World War II. The most devastating air raid on Darmstadt occurred on the night of 11/12 September 1944 when No Events 9 - The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest ends 506 - The Bishops of Visigothic Gaul Year 1944 ( MCMXLIV) was a Leap year starting on Saturday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar.

Post-World War II

Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Darmstadt became home to many technology companies and research institutes, and has been promoting itself as a "city of science" since 1997. It is well known as a high-tech centre in the vicinity of Frankfurt Airport, with important activities in spacecraft operations (the European Space Operations Centre), chemistry, pharmacy, information technology, biotechnology, telecommunications (substantial Deutsche Telekom presence) and mechatronics. Frankfurt am Main International Airport, known in German as Flughafen Frankfurt am Main or Rhein-Main-Flughafen and in rest of Europe The European Space Operations Centre ( ESOC) is responsible for controlling ESA Satellites and Space probes The centre is located in Deutsche Telekom AG (,) ( English translation German Telecom) (abbreviated DTAG) is a Telecommunications company headquartered in In 2000, its region also scored Rank 3 amongst 97 German regions in the WirtschaftsWoche test ranking Germany's high-tech regions. Wirtschaftswoche is a German weekly Business news Magazine. ^[5]

The TU Darmstadt is one of the important technical institutes in Germany and is well known for its research and teaching in the Electrical, Mechanical and Civil Engineering disciplines. The Darmstadt University of Technology, whose official name (also its official English name) is "Technische Universität Darmstadt" (abbreviated TU Darmstadt) in Together with other tertiary institutions, the TU is responsible for the large student population of the city, which stood at 33,547 in 2004. ^[5]
