The landmark of Darmstadt is the 48.5-meter-high wedding tower. The architect Joseph Maria Olbrich designed the 1908 finished brick tower on behalf of the city of Darmstadt as a gift to commemorate the wedding of Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig to Princess Eleonore zu Solms-Hohensolms-Lich 1905 on February 2. Striking are the five final bows of the roof, reminiscent of an outstretched hand, which is why it is also called five-finger tower. The tower is associated with the Art Nouveau style.
