Description: The Darmstadt Artists' Colony refers both to a group of Jugendstil artists as well as to the buildings in Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt in which these artists lived and worked. The artists were largely financed by patrons and worked together with other members of the group who ideally had concordant artistic tastes. The artists' colony was founded in 1899 by Ernest Ludwig, The artists' goal was to be the development of modern and forward-looking forms of construction and living.
