On the first weekend in July, downtown Darmstadt is once again transformed into a huge fairground: More than 200 carnival operators from all over Germany provide fun and entertainment at the Darmstadt Heinerfest. The several hundred thousand expected guests will be treated to a rich cultural program in Heinerstadt—ranging from dialect performances to music, theater, and exhibitions, along with many rides, delicious food, and refreshing drinks.
"Come one, come all!" Every year, several hundred thousand visitors from near and far follow this call to join in the fun in Darmstadt‘s city center around the Darmstadt Residenzschloss. With almost 150 free cultural events, carousels and culinary delights from all over the world, we will celebrate together for 5 days.
Why Heinerfest?
In the winter of 1950 - six years after the devastating bombing raid on Darmstadt - the daring idea was born to organize a Heimatfest in the midst of the rubble. "Triumph of joie de vivre over the dreariness of the post-war years" was the motto at the time. What should the new festival be called? An appeal was made to the population, the majority of whom voted for "Heinerfest", which was to be celebrated around the Residenzschloss from then on.

Dragons have inspired the human imagination for thousands of years. The fascinating mythical creatures are part of the repertoire of great stories - from ancient myths to contemporary series highlights. Dragon books, games and stuffed animals can even be found in many children‘s rooms. Depending on the cultural context, very different characteristics are attributed to dragons: In European cultures, they appear as menacing creatures that combine the characteristics of snakes and predators. In China, Korea and Japan, on the other hand, the dragon has mostly positive connotations and keeps nature in balance as a cosmic force.

For the first time, the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt is presenting the expressive works on paper by Hedwig Kruse-Geibel (Frankfurt/Main 1895-1991 Darmstadt). Her works revolve around her role as an artist, adored one, lover, mother or abandoned wife. Removed from her time and at the same time far ahead of it, she created a crossover of cultures, combining ancient mythology, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and Islam. Her immensely dense paintings depict fantastic creatures, figures from mysticism and fairy tales. They live from the line and bright colors.
