Lights will go out on March 28th for climate protection
The city of Darmstadt, a center of science and research, has announced that it will participate in the global "Earth Hour" campaign again this year. On Saturday, March 28, 2026, citizens, businesses, and institutions are encouraged to switch off their lights for one hour, from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Signs of climate protection
The campaign aims to send a clear message about climate protection and our shared responsibility for the planet. Climate Protection Officer Michael Kolmer emphasizes the importance of the initiative and calls for broad participation.
Landmarks remain dark
In Darmstadt, well-known buildings are also not illuminated during this time. These include the Wedding Tower on the Mathildenhöhe and the Darmstadt Residence Palace.
The city is thus joining a worldwide campaign in which numerous famous buildings such as the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin or international landmarks are plunged into darkness for one hour.
Participation is possible for everyone
The “Earth Hour” is organized annually by the WWF. Those interested can register online:
