Wiesbaden-Photos

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…

The Kurhaus seen across the pond behind it.

one of the old fountains that have currently been stowed away while the “bowling green” in front of the Kurhaus is undergoing a facelift.

Aquis Mattiacis (”springs of the Mattiaci”) - the Roman name of Wiesbaden is inscribed on the “Kurhaus”. Here, you see the inscription reflected in the hood of a car parked outside the Kurhaus.

Actually, the place in front of the Kurhaus is currently being rebuilt and the unseemly parking lot will disappear in the process. So, shooting such reflections will be much more difficult in the future.
