Winter in Wiesbaden
Snow has fallen in the “Am Warmen Damm” park near the Wiesbaden theatre.
Constructing Wiesbaden
Currently, there are quite a few big building projects going on. The Mauritius-Square already has been rebuilt, but there are fresh building sites near the railway station, in the pedestrian precinct and behind the state parliament. Maybe the most controversial one is the rebuilding of the “bowling green” in front of the Kurhaus which you can see on the two pictures here: many old trees had to go to make the new underground car park possible…
ok, I played with the perspective in this one…
Great Expectations: Xmas preparations in Wiesbaden
Decoration for the Wiesbaden Christmas Market.
There is an Xmas market now on the central square of Wiesbaden. The golden horse tops the carousel in front of the “Marktkirche”
All over the city, you can see these little “burglars” break into the houses to deliver their gifts.

Art in the park
“leben” (”life”) A scuplture by Francè Rotar in the “Am warmen Damm” park in Wiesbaden.
Vineyard in the fog
A vineyard in Kiedrich (Rheingau) seen in the evening fog. The Rheingau is famous for its “Riesling” white wine.
The Rheingau stretches from Hochheim (that’s where the “Hock” comes from) on the River Main to Lorch.
The “Rheingauer Weinwoche” (”Rheingau Wine Week”) in Wiesbaden, offers an opportunity to taste local wines from more than a hundred producers.
The “Frog Queen”
A statue by artist Birgid Helmy called the “frog queen” in reference to the fairy tale “the frog king” by the Grimm Brothers. This photo was taken on the same occasion as the other pictures of Biebrich in the fog.
