The Marstall is a baroque former stable building in Darmstadt .
Architecture and history
The originally two-storey baroque stable building was built in 1726 according to plans by Erich Philipp Ploennies . The Marstall served to relieve the Upper Marstall, not far from the Birngarten (Alexanderstraße) . Stables for 38 horses were housed on the ground floor, while the upper floor and the attic housed administration rooms and apartments for the employees of the Marstall.
When all the rooms were no longer used in the 1920s, part of the building was made available to the "School of Wisdom" founded by Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig and Hermann Graf Keyserling . The eastern part of the Marstall continued to serve as the Grand Ducal Court Stables .
In 1944 the stables were destroyed in an air raid.
Between 1950 and 1952 the two full floors were rebuilt and the former mansard roof was replaced by an additional floor and a hipped roof.
Along with the Long Bellies, the Marstall is the only remaining building from the first city expansion to the west.
The stables today
Since the reconstruction, the former stables has been used as the service building of the Hessian construction management (formerly the state building authority).
