Darmstadt relies entirely on digital applications in the construction industry
Starting Wednesday, October 1, 2025 , the building permit process in the Science City of Darmstadt will be handled entirely digitally. "In this way, the Science City of Darmstadt is responding to the desire of developers and architects for a modern, fast, and transparent building permit process," explains City Councilor Paul Georg Wandrey .
Since the introduction of digital application processes, approximately 50 percent of applicants have used the Hessen Construction Portal , where architects and developers can register and select Darmstadt as the responsible authority. The portal enables seamless, seamless processing – from application and approval to completion of the construction project.
The advantages of digitalization are manifold: lower printing and shipping costs, less archiving effort, shorter coordination channels, fewer additional requests and faster approval times.
Important: From September 30, 2025, the city of Darmstadt will no longer accept building applications in paper form.
Further information and access to the procedure is available via the Hessen construction portal .
