Term Weststadt

The city of Darmstadt defines 9 districts, see list of districts of Darmstadt . This is where the West district is defined, not Weststadt. The term is apparently used primarily in the context of urban development, for example the “Weststadt project” was named in the 1998 social report for the forest colony, which aims to create an “urban location for trade, living and culture” there. A definition of the area is also given there: “The Weststadt is directly adjacent to the Darmstadt core city. It extends in the north to the Merck company and in the south to Eschollbrücker Strasse. ”This describes an area that not only includes parts of Darmstadt-West, but also parts of Darmstadt-North .
