Darmstadt

From 1993 until 1999 I have studied mathematics and physics in Darmstadt. On some of these days I took my photo camera with me. Some of the results can be viewed here.

The welt from the Prinzengarten in wintertime. It never gets switched off, and so bizarre ice formations are generated, when frost in winter lasts two ore three weeks.

 

      
The Prinzengarten during the last winter (1996/97) before the change. The white cloud in the back probable stems from the Darmstadt waste heat power plant.
      
The Herrengarten in Darmstadt close to the university in spring 1997. The blooming trees in the front make a fine contrast to the dark spars in the back.
     

Again a picture of the blooming trees.

 

      

Detail view. From the distance, the leafs seam missing - but they are just darker than the rest.

 

     
Another detail view.
   
Prinzengarten ist directly aside the Herrengarten. This was after the layout change in spring 1997. The large bushes have vanished, and vegetable plants have taken their place.

Probably the Darmstadt city habitants should be able to view a portato plant...

     
Another picture after the change of the Prinzengarten.
     

Water fountain from the welt. During summer time without ice.
