Wiesbaden is the capital of the state of Hesse and, after Frankfurt, it is the state’s largest city. Wiesbaden is also an ancient city, founded by the Romans in AD 6. Beautifully situated between the Rhine river and the Taunus Mountains, the city is famous for its hot springs, which the Romans used extensively and which can still be enjoyed in several places today.
There are many sights in Wiesbaden, and you can start at Schloßplatz, which is surrounded by interesting buildings. The neoclassical city castle from the first half of the 19th century is today used as Hesse’s state house. The castle complex also includes the Kavaliershaus and the Wilhelmsbau next to the castle. Wiesbaden’s Old Town Hall and New Town Hall from 1887 and the Protestant Marktkirche are opposite the castle and are all worth seeing as well.
After a short stroll from Schloßplatz, you are on the Bowling Green, which forms a sophisticated setting for several of Wiesbaden’s best-known buildings. By the lawn you can see the Hesse State Theater and the famous Kurhaus spa building, which opened in 1907. The Kurhaus offers a particularly beautiful interior, and here you can find Wiesbaden’s casino. Behind the Kurhaus you can take a nice walk in the Kurpark.
The dukes of Wiesbaden used the city castle in the center, but they also had a larger castle, Schloß Biebrich, located in the south of Wiesbaden in a lovely location on the Rhine. On the way to the large baroque castle, you can see the Art Nouveau Lutherkirche and Luisenplatz, where the church of St. Bonifatius from the 1840s is located. And a little north of the center you can take the funicular Nerobergbahn, which runs to a formidable view from Neroberg.
Mainz is the capital of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate and is located at the point where the river Main flows into the Rhine. The city’s history goes back to the Roman foundation of a fort in the first century AD, and the place was the capital of the province of Germania Superior. Mainz later became one of the most important cities of the Holy Roman Empire, and it continued to be a strong German fortress in the defense of the west.
Mainz was subjected to massive bombardments during World War II and the area’s French administration wanted to rebuild a model city inspired by Le Corbusier’s urban planning, which was only partially realized with the interesting mix of new and old that you can see in the center of Mainz today. A fine example of modern architecture is Arne Jacobsen’s town hall building on the banks of the Rhine, while you can see old Mainz with half-timbered houses in the quarter south of the cathedral.
Frankfurt is a fascinating city and a meeting between new and old. It has always been one of Germany’s richest city and a city with great political influence in Germany. It has been a locomotive of German economy and development for centuries as well, and there are so many things to see in both old and modern Frankfurt with all the high-rise office towers.
With its airport and large fairs, Frankfurt is a hub and meeting place for all of Europe and much of the world, and the international atmosphere of the modern city with its many fine museums and cultural offerings makes visiting here very exciting and with sights in and around the city center.
Koblenz is a city located in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate at the point where the river Mosel flows into the Rhine. The city’s history goes back to the years before the birth of Christ, when the Romans founded a military settlement in the strategically good place. Koblenz’s name comes from the Latin name confluentes, meaning confluence, which alludes to the two great rivers.
The most famous place in Koblenz is the Deutsches Eck, which is the place where the Mosel flows into the Rhine. Deutsches Eck is a large square where you can go all the way to the rivers and enjoy the beautiful scenery that is here. In the square you can see Koblenz’s famous equestrian statue of Emperor Wilhelm I. The statue was erected in 1897 as a monument to the emperor’s role in the German unification in 1871.
