Wiesbaden Photos

The old town hall of Wiesbaden now houses the registration office. Built in 1610, this is the oldest building in Wiesbaden. On the right, you can see the the entrance to the state parliament of Hesse.

The train station of Wiesbaden is located somewhat outside the city proper. If you arrive here and have a bit of time (and no heavy luggage), you can walk through the park opposite the station towards the Wilhelmstraße. There are some nice gardens in the ” Reisinger-Anlagen” as well as a huge grassy space that is used for various events including the outdoor cinema performances held here each August. Here you see a rainbow over the trees of the Reisinger-Anlagen.

The “Kriegerdenkmal” (”Warrior’s monument”) dates back to 1909 and was the work of one “Franz Preitel” - not really a well-known artist. The monument marks the entrance to the beautiful “Nerotal” park named after the (in)famous Roman emperor.

This cave used to be quite famous but now has become all but forgotten. It used to be the hideout of a local poacher / outlaw who was caught at the cave in 1792.

There are quite a few stories about Leichtweiß (or Leichtweis).
