Newcomer’s Guide to Darmstadt - Introduction
On the following pages, you will find some useful tips for your start in Darmstadt (links on the left side). Of course, we would also like to present our city to you – thus, all of the other English pages you find above and below in a way are part of the Newcomer’s Guide, too.
If you miss something here, there are also other sources you can use. For example, most of the information you will find here may be helpful (however, the City of Science is not responsible for the content of external websites).
We’d like to mention that from our experience, newcomers from Europe or America mostly do not really experience anything that can adequately be called a "culture shock". They rather often find Germans surprisingly similar to themselves in many respects, and surprisingly capable of the English language. This is not always the case of course but it may even make your efforts to learn German a little difficult sometimes – many Germans may wish to practice their English with you (especially if you know little German). Just as we do at this very moment.
