From May to October 2026, a special place for ideas, exchange, and creative projects will take shape in the heart of downtown Wiesbaden: the WerkRaum Wiesbaden. As part of World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026, the former Sportscheck store is being transformed into an inspiring hub for design and social dialogue.
