Darmstadt is a very safe place where I feel comfortable to live. Of course here are some crimes too but I think they mostly don't affect tourists. Sometimes things laying around at parties (hausis) get stolen but not often and not with violence. There are also some strange dudes out there but I never heard of someone getting assaulted or anything by strangers in darmstadt.

Darmstadt is during the day mostly safe. There will always be people and you rarely have places where there are no people living for emergencies. There are even cameras installed on the Luisenplatz, but that speaks more for crime happening especially there.

Its a safe city! Police is aware and people are nice and open to help. Its a student city with lots of young people. If bad things happen, it's drunk teenagers, but no need to worry! Pro tip: Download the App "Heinerliner". It's sponsored by the city and has really cheap taxis (~3€ per ride and person).

Since Darmstadt is a student town, you generally feel safe even in most areas at night. In Herrengarten (a large park in Darmstadt), there is a spot where homeless people and junkies gather. During the day, you can walk past there without any problems, but in the evenings, as a woman, I would (if possible) take a detour out of caution. However, in 2.5 years, I was only bothered once; that's a solid record. Otherwise, there's no need to worry here because there are always other people on the streets, so you never feel totally alone. All in all, in my experience, people are also helpful if you look a bit lost or confused in a corner.

Stay away from places that aren't crowded, especially at night! Avoid dark paths and areas where alcohol is sold and consumed since there might be some drunk men who have lost their control. However, during the day Darmstadt is a beautiful city that's worth a visit!
