In the "place of diversity" Biebrich, the museum presents an eventful history: for a hundred years, the former fishing and farming village was a residential town, after which it became an important industrial location. The main themes are correspondingly diverse: The noble Nassau dynasty, traditional trades and modern industrial companies. You can even find very early inhabitants of the Biebrich area here: a 20-million-year-old wadden snail, along with other fossils from the Mosbach sands.

The museum, originally founded in 1909, is now housed in the former municipal baths. In addition to the permanent collection, we also regularly show special exhibitions on 350 square meters. Guided tours of the park and castle are also offered.

The VVB has been committed to the well-being of the citizens of Biebrich since 1870. As the sponsor of the Museum of Local and Industrial History, it makes it possible to explore the history of our district of Wiesbaden. To beautify Biebrich, the VVB has monuments erected and restored, including the fountain in the castle park and the Galatea fountain. But the present is also close to its heart: locals and tourists benefit from the redesign of the banks of the Rhine and cultural events such as concerts in the palace or lectures. Chronicles and the "Biebricher Geschichtsblätter" (Biebrich history sheets) present historical events and personalities that are memorable for Biebrich and Mosbach.
