53113 Bonn: Together with Weststadt, Bonn's Südstadt district is considered the largest contiguous (and preserved) Wilhelminian-style neighbourhood in Germany. Bonn-Bad Godesberg also has a large contiguous Gründerzeit neighbourhood. These neighbourhoods are considered the urban development prototype of the "city of short distances" due to the mix of uses. In addition, the building density helps to create affordable living space and the reutilisation-friendly floor plans mean that the buildings can often be used for well over 100 years.

During the time of its existence, 23 artists belonged to it. The work of these members and other important personalities in Darmstadt from 1898 to 1914 set the tone for subsequent developments in art and architecture far beyond the events on Mathildenhöhe. Art Nouveau, with its ornamentation and organic building forms, continues to have an influence on the design of ecological settlements or sustainable neighbourhoods to this day. Construction from 1899. Completion: 1914
