Everyone is invited to Langgasse 5 to 9: In the heart of Wiesbaden's pedestrian zone, a hotspot for design and dialogue is being created as part of the World Design Capital Year 2026: The Wiesbaden City Museum Foundation, architect Sandra Düsterhus (POINT.Architektur), and Professor Jörg Waldschütz, together with students from the Communication Design program at RheinMain University of Applied Sciences, are transforming the former department store into an open space for exchange, ideas, and social participation.

Exhibitions, talks, workshops, and participatory activities: Creative and innovative individual projects from the WDC 2026 in Wiesbaden and the surrounding region will be presented here, accompanied by a curated program.

Initiated by Sandra Düsterhus and museum director Sabine Philipp, the project is being co-designed by Prof. Jörg Waldschütz and students from the Communication Design program at RheinMain University of Applied Sciences. With expert support from Sandra Düsterhus, the students are also developing their own creative approaches in seminars and contributing their perspectives to social discussions. 

WerkRaum Wiesbaden is a place that invites people to get involved. The aim is to promote intensive exchange between generations, backgrounds, lifestyles, and perspectives—a space that brings social cohesion to life and invites people to come together to negotiate and shape how we want to live in the future.

Whether it's sponsorship or communication power: the WerkRaum Wiesbaden team is looking for people, companies, and networks who would like to support the project with their ideas, commitment, or resources. We are looking for:
