The Heinerfest in Darmstadt

Origin and history

The first Heinerfest was launched in 1951. The aim was to create a festival for all citizens after the Second World War, regardless of their origin, religion or age. It was named after the affectionate nickname ‘Heiner’ given to the inhabitants of Darmstadt.
