Naturkindergarten im Prinz-Emil-Garten (Nachbarschaftsheim)
Last reviewed: June 2026
A nature kindergarten in the middle of the Prinz-Emil-Garten in Bessungen, run by Nachbarschaftsheim Darmstadt — a community-oriented association rooted in the district since 1947. In the neighbourhood garden, 20 children aged three to seven find a place to build, play and explore: with raised beds, mud corners, a construction trailer and a workshop of their own. Experiencing nature is part of everyday life, set within one of the city's most beautiful parks.
What speaks for it
A nature-focused kindergarten with raised beds, a workshop and a construction trailer in the middle of the park. Part of a lively family centre with after-school care, holiday activities and many family offerings. The provider has been active in the district for decades with a public-benefit mission. Central, green location in Bessungen.
What you should know
The nature kindergarten is just one building block of a large association with many activities — not a pure forest kindergarten. For group structure, catering and available places, it's best to ask Nachbarschaftsheim directly. Admission from age three.
