With the "DA Instagram Point," there is a new photo spot in Darmstadt.
The point serves two purposes: First, it provides a beautiful photo motif for visitors and locals who want to show that they are exploring the city. Second, the Instagram Point adds a green accent to the city. The letters are made of steel and have enough space inside for plants and flowers, which are replaced seasonally. The perforated back panel allows plants to climb and provides ample room for growth.
Additionally, the Instagram Point is mobile, meaning the letters can be placed at different locations in Darmstadt. Currently, they can be found at the darmstadtium, at the beginning of the Erich-Ollenhauer-Promenade.
So, keep an eye out for the planted letters in the city—where will they appear next? The locations are announced on www.darmstadt-tourismus.de as well as on the social media accounts Instagram (@visit.darmstadt) and Facebook (@Darmstadt Citymarketing e.V.).
Previous locations:
- Friedensplatz
- darmstadtium / Erich-Ollenhauer-Promenade
- Mathildenhöhe
- Georg-Büchner-Platz
- Ernst-Ludwigs-Platz
The "DA" letters were manufactured by Seyda Schlosserei, Stahl und Metallbau from Darmstadt and planted by Gartenzentrale Appel from Darmstadt. The relocation of the point is kindly handled by the Grünflächenamt (Green Spaces Office).

A perfect weekend: Martinsviertel, Mathildenhöhe, Oberfeld and more. The southern Hessian metropolis of Darmstadt is known for its mix of student nonchalance and world-class culture. But where exactly can we find the inspiring perspectives and favorite urban spots?

Why do hunters wear green - and how well is it actually camouflaged? The special exhibition at Kranichstein Hunting Lodge sheds light on how wild animals see colors - and why bright warning colors are often more inconspicuous for deer than green capes. Between traditional hunting clothing and modern functional fashion, the exhibition looks at camouflage, signaling effects and the role of the color green in hunting culture.
