Hesse (/ˈhɛsə/) or Hessia (German: Hessen [ˈhɛsn̩], Hessian dialect: Hesse [ˈhɛzə]) is a federal state (Land) of the Federal Republic of Germany, with just over six million inhabitants. The state capital is Wiesbaden; the largest city is Frankfurt am Main. Until the unification of Germany, the territory of Hesse was occupied by the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Duchy of Nassau, the free city of Frankfurt and the Electorate of Hesse, known also as Hesse-Cassel. Due to divisions after World War II, the modern federal state does not cover the entire cultural region of Hesse, which includes both the State of Hesse and the area known as Rhenish Hesse (Rheinhessen) in the neighbouring state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

The Deutsche Bank Park stands on the site of its great predecessor – the legendary Frankfurt Waldstadion. It forms an integral part of German sporting history and has always been the focal point of life in the region. The Waldstadion has gone through many changes in the past and has now, at the start of the new millennium, been completely refurbished and given a new strategic concept. The fantastic sportsmen who have played here and the spectacular football matches that have taken place are never to be forgotten.The new arena was built for sports, concerts, business events and all kinds of large gatherings. Depending on the event, it can hold up to 55,000 spectators – multi-functionality is an important aspect. The exact circumference is 860 metres; the length is 210 metres and the width 190 metres. No pillars obstruct direct view onto the pitch and the front rows are only a few metres away from the edge of the field.

Ticked this ground off on a Sunday afternoon - this is a ground that you may be able tie in with a trip to Mainz or Frankfurt, both quick and easy train rides away. This is a traditional stadium with lots of character. Tall floodlights, crap toilets, big open terraces...I loved it! I sat behind the goal in the corner close to the visiting fans and this became an unofficial mixed area due to a number of away supporters getting tickets in this stand. The atmosphere, made even better by an exciting finish to a 3-3 draw, was superb. It's fair trek from the centre. I'd recommend grabbing a wonderful beverage in the brewpub on the markplatz, then catching the tram 9 from there. I did walk back after the game, so it's not too far if you want to stretch the legs. Food and drink can be brought from the outlets inside the ground using cash, which is handy when so many clubs use prepaid cards. Great customer service from the club when I contacted them via the website with a question about tickets - they fixed a blunder that I made when booking seats. Forget the big teams - grab yourself a ticket to see Darmstadt play. Good luck for the season ahead guys!
