The villa at Beethovenstraße 10 is designed in neoclassical style, combined with elements of Art Nouveau.

The architect Paul Dietzsch from Essen designed the villa according to the representative needs of the client Heinrich Kirchhoff.

The building at Bierstadt Straße 14 is a castle-like villa built by architect Alfred Schellenberg in 1876-78 in the strict historicist style. The main façade faces west towards Rosenstraße. Schellenberg turned away from the usual symmetry of Classicism and Romantic Historicism and instead offset the villa's loggia to the south. His design was discreetly inspired by the Italian High Renaissance.

Villa Bierstadtter Straße 14 has been home to the private school Dr. Obermayr since 1975; only a few rooms still have their original furnishings.

The villa was demolished in 2024.

In 1909, the architect Karl Köhler built the villa at 15 Bierstadt Straße for his own purposes in the neoclassical style, which was often reflected in the buildings of the First World War. Contrary to the actual custom of classicism, Köhler emphasized the roof of the villa by creating a mansard roof.

The building is the headquarters of the private school Dr. Obermayr.

In the summer of 1883, Brahms worked on his "Wiesbaden Symphony", the 3rd Symphony in F major (op. 90), in a Wiesbaden villa at what was then Geisbergstraße 19.

Brahms' stay in Wiesbaden came about through his friendship with the Beckerath family, who initially invited him to their vineyard in Rüdesheim. After hiking together in the Swiss Alps and years of correspondence, Brahms finally returned to the Rheingau in 1883. Laura von Beckenrath found accommodation for the composer at Geisbergstraße 19 (today Schöne Aussicht 7). Brahms was able to compose there undisturbed in absolute peace and quiet, with walks from the front door. On his walks on the Neroberg and in the Taunus, his compositions unfolded almost to perfection; he then put the works on paper almost without corrections.

Brahms' work from his time in Wiesbaden was premiered on December 2, 1883 in Vienna with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra under Hans Richter.

The villa at Dambachtal 20 was the home of Friedrich Werz, who - as can be seen from the building - appreciated the Art Nouveau style. He built the villa in 1905.

When Prince Albrecht, the owner of the Solmsschlösschen, fell seriously and apparently terminally ill shortly after moving in, he moved to Gustav-Freytag-Straße 27 in 1898 - the second villa he had built. In contrast to the monumental Solmsschlösschen, Prince Albrecht had the second villa built by the architect Wilhelm Köster in a relatively simple and conservative style. The villa is designed in the forms of the Upper Italian Renaissance, with an asymmetrical arrangement of the corner balconies.

Gustav-Freytag-Straße was called "Hainer Weg" until 1886 and was renamed after Gustav Freytag on the occasion of his 70th birthday. The poet lived in the villa at Gustav-Freytag-Straße 18 from 1881 until his death.

In 1842, the architect Georg Moller built the neoclassical-style "Villa Rettberg" on behalf of the Nassau lieutenant and adjutant to the duke, Carl von Rettberg. The owner died in 1844 and was laid to rest in the "Old Cemetery".

Influenced by the Italian Renaissance in its architectural forms, little remains of the villa's former appearance today. The building was enlarged in 1870 and a storey was added at the turn of the century, and its historic façade was altered. After the end of the war, the villa was renovated because it had been badly damaged by bombs. In 1949, the state government used the two neighboring buildings and Villa Rettberg as an office building.

After the Hessian State Chancellery moved into the former "Hotel Rose" in 2004, work began a year later to renovate the Villa Rettberg, including the adjoining coach house, and convert it into the Haus der Kommunen with a new office building.

Villa Lessingstraße 5 bears the signature of architect Christian Dähne, who built nine magnificent neo-Renaissance villas in Wiesbaden.

Dähne built the villa in 1898 from brick and sandstone with three floors and a striking polygonal corner tower. The architect himself lived in the building for 26 years.

In 1899, the architect Wilhelm Boue built the double villa at Sonnenberg Straße 26/28 in the neo-baroque style. The "Regina" hotel was housed in the building between 1905 and 1935.

The company Kreizner & Hatzmann was responsible for the construction of Viktoriastrasse 19 in 1871/72. Two years earlier, Friedrich Hatzmann and Joseph Kreizner bought the building plot, of which they kept only a third themselves. In 1872, the two building contractors sold the neoclassical building at Viktoriastrasse 13 (now 19), which was decorated with larger-than-life caryatids from Höppli's workshop. The building, designed as a detached house, was converted into a multi-storey house around 1936.

While the villa itself only suffered minor damage during the Second World War, the coach house and stable buildings at the rear of the property did not survive the bombing raids.

Between 1878 and 1882, the architect Georg Friedrich Fürstchen built the Villa Clementine on behalf of the Mainz manufacturer Ernst Mayer. It was named after Mayer's wife Clementine, who died shortly after its completion. The architect, who was 29 years old at the time, designed the floor plan of the "upper middle-class villa" in a U-shape and finished the building with a double façade facing Wilhelmstrasse and Warme Damm. Fürstchen specified different heights for the rooms on the ground, first and second floors in order to emphasize the importance of the individual storeys. The building is also characterized by extraordinary stucco ceilings, several winter gardens and terraces as well as black marble steps in the stairwell.

Villa Clementine achieved worldwide fame in 1888 with the "Wiesbaden prince robbery": Serbian Queen Natalie rented the villa with her son, Crown Prince Alexander, after she had left her husband, King Milan Obrenovich. However, he tracked down her whereabouts and had his son brought back to Bucharest by order. Villa Clementine has been the home of the Wiesbaden House of Literature since 2001.

Commissioned by the widow L. Wintermeyer, the architect Georg Schlink began building the villa on Biebricher Allee in 1902. The building stands out due to its corner location, the polygonal corner tower with baroque dome and the veranda, which was added on the Biebricher Allee side. In 1914, another veranda was added to the rear of the building. The current name "Villa Schnitzler" comes from the second owner.

The official residence of the President of the United States in Washington was unmistakably the model for the construction of the "White House" villa. This was at the request of the American wife of the champagne manufacturer Söhnlein, Emma Pabst. However, it is also possible that the emerging neoclassicism influenced the design of the house. The Swiss architects Otto Wilhelm Pfleghard and Max Haefeli designed the building between 1903 and 1906, having become known for their work in Alfred Schellenberg's architectural office.

Since the death of Friedrich Wilhelm Söhnlein in 1938, the villa has had different functions: in 1940 it was rented by the police administration, four years later it was bought by the "Third Reich" and after the end of the war until 1995 it was used by the American military administration.

The parish of the old Catholic Friedenskirche was founded in 1871. While the parishioners were still able to use St. Boniface's Church from 1876, it was finally possible to build their own church in 1898 under the architect Max Schröder. The church, built in the historicizing "pointed arch style" on Schwalbacher Straße, was consecrated in 1900.

When it became clear that the Mauritius Church would become too small for the growing number of worshippers, the construction of a second Protestant church was considered in 1837. However, this plan had to be postponed for the time being, as too many factors intervened: The fire at the Mauritiuskirche, the costly construction of the Marktkirche and the annexation of Nassau in 1866. But as Wiesbaden continued to grow in the founding years, more church space was needed.

The plan by Berlin architect Johannes Otzen won a tender, guaranteeing a construction sum of just 150,000 marks - which was less than a quarter of the cost of building the market church. In the end, however, the sum for the construction amounted to 256,000 marks. Construction began in July 1876, and on May 28, 1879, Bishop Ludwig Wilhelm Wilhelmi consecrated the church "am Berg", which is made of reddish brick and grey Palatinate sandstone.

The residential area around the church grew so close to the church that it eventually took on the name of the church.

In 1831, shortly before the consecration of the new church designed by Friedrich Ludwig Schrumpf, the new building collapsed. The second attempt followed in May 1843: Philipp Hoffmann was commissioned to build the church on Luisenplatz. There had not been a Catholic parish since the Reformation. As the necessary funds for the church building were not available, Pastor Petmecky collected money.

For this reason, the foundation stone was only laid on June 5, 1845, the day of St. Boniface. Bishop Josef Peter Blum of Limburg consecrated the unfinished church in June 1849. Donations had to be collected again for the missing interior fittings and towers that had not yet been built; this work was carried out in the years 1864-66.

After the Mauritius Church burned down in 1850, the Protestant congregation was allowed to use the Catholic Bonifatius Church. However, during the church war of 1876-78, the Catholic community had to hand over their church to the Old Catholic community.

In 1945, the church building was hit by bombs and lost its stained glass.

From 1836, an increasing number of English spa guests stayed in Wiesbaden. As more and more English families moved to the city, they jointly planned the construction of their own church, which was realized in 1863. In addition to their assets, Duke Adolph and the city of Wiesbaden gave the English community the land and a donation of 3,000 guilders.

Senior architect Theodor Goetz built the church at Frankfurter Straße 3 in simple brick Gothic style, following the example of the English "chapels".

With the simple façade of the Lutherkirche, the city's historicism in Protestant church building has almost been overcome in comparison to the other Protestant places of worship such as the Marktkirche, Bergkirche and Ringkirche. Professor Friedrich Pützer built the church at Sartoriusstrasse 16, but considered it inappropriate to use historical forms for new buildings.

The Lutherkirche in Mosbacher Straße was consecrated at Christmas 1910.

The roof of the Lutherkirche is characteristic: at 20 meters high, it takes up more than half the height of the building. The hall can accommodate 1,400 visitors and the Romanesque-influenced Art Nouveau style is particularly evident in the furnishings and colorful decoration on the ceilings and walls. With its large unified space, the Lutherkirche is one of Wiesbaden's churches with the best acoustics.

The construction of the Catholic Maria-Hilf Church at Kellerstraße 37 goes back to the diocesan master builder Max Meckel, who modeled the church in Kellerstraße on the Romanesque style. With its light sandstone, protruding transept and twin towers, it forms a contrast to the red buildings in the city center.

The five-towered Marktkirche next to the New Town Hall is the successor to the Mauritiuskirche, which was destroyed by fire in 1850. Its outer walls were no longer considered load-bearing and were therefore unusable for a new interior. Due to a lack of space, the Marktkirche was not built on the former site of the Mauritiuskirche, but on the Neuer Markt. Designed by Carl Boos as the Nassau State Cathedral, the oldest church in the city center is still Wiesbaden's main church today.

It is designed in the Gothic pointed arch style according to the aesthetic ideas of classicism using the clay stone technique. The balanced west façade corresponds most closely to the classicist sensibilities, while the Gothic forms are particularly evident in the towers. The Wiesbaden ceramics workshop Jacob Höppli produced the decorative elements of the Marktkirche in series.

According to the plans of architect Johannes Otzen and in consultation with Dean Emil Veesenmeyer, construction of the Ringkirche on Rheinstraße began in 1893. Although its grounds dated back to the beginning of the century, they had since become a bridle path and a tree-lined promenade. As the church was primarily intended to be a meeting place for the congregation with an altar, pulpit and organ in the center, the church was planned as a central building.

Its construction as the third Protestant church after the Marktkirche and the Bergkirche had become necessary due to the rapidly growing number of Protestants in Wiesbaden. With its double-tower façade, the Ringkirche dominates both Rheinstraße and Kaiser-Friedrich-Ring. The Ringkirche was consecrated on Reformation Day in 1894. Accordingly, it was initially known as the "Reformation Church" before its location on the "Ring" earned it the final name Ringkirche.

The only Russian Orthodox church in Wiesbaden is located on the Neroberg and is popularly known as the "Greek Chapel". Duke Adolph von Nassau had the burial church built in 1849-1855 for his wife, the Russian Princess Elisabeth Mikhailovna, Grand Duchess of Russia and Duchess of Nassau, who died in childbirth.

The Nassau master builder Philipp Hoffmann erected the church in the style of romantic historicism, following the example of the Church of the Savior in Moscow.

Today, the Russian Orthodox church serves as a parish church for Wiesbaden's Russian community. Adjacent to the building is the Russian cemetery with interesting graves from the 19th century.

Architect Alfred Schnellenberg designed the "Nassauer Hof" hotel in the late historicist style. Built between 1898 and 1907, the new building extended as far as Taunusstraße and replaced the original hotel of the same name built by Zais on the same site. In 1945, the corner building on Taunusstraße was destroyed and a new building was erected in its place in the 1980s. When the Nassauer Hof was rebuilt after the Second World War, two more, rather sober floors were added to the front building on Wilhelmstrasse and the building was finished off with a flat roof.

These alterations diminished the former splendid appearance of the building. On the south wing, however, the neo-baroque building is still recognizable despite the additions. The interior also suffered from the effects of the war, but the atmosphere of the time can still be felt in the large modern rooms.

First mentioned in a document in 1486, the "Schwarzer Bock" hotel still closes off Kranzplatz on its south-eastern side and is one of the oldest spa hotels in the city. The hotel's name goes back to the first owner, Mayor Philipp zu Bock, who earned the nickname "Schwarzer Bock" because of his black hair. The building took on its current appearance in 1871/72. The hotel was extended in 1902/03 when the former bathhouse "Zur Goldenen Kette" was added. In the 1960s, the historic charm of the building disappeared with the neoclassical façade and two additional storeys.

On the east side of Kochbrunnenplatz is the "Hotel Rose", whose name dates back to 1523, when the then tenant Margarethe zur Rose was sued for rent arrears. In 1896, the owner was finally granted permission to demolish the old building. In its heyday, the hotel with 200 rooms, a large bathing facility and an indoor tennis court welcomed numerous prominent guests.

During the Second World War, the hotel served as a conference venue for the Franco-German Armistice Commission, and from 1945-1948 it was used by the US Air Force. The last owner, Rosenow, reopened the hotel in 1959 after extensive renovations, but reduced the number of beds and rented out the remaining rooms as apartments to permanent guests.

Real estate agent Dr. Jürgen Schneider later planned to turn it into a luxury hotel, but went bankrupt in 1994. Between 2001 and 2004, the state of Hesse converted the building into the state chancellery of the Hessian Minister President.

The Wiesbaden architects Schellenberg & Jacobi built the villa on Bierstadt Straße in 1891/92 as the "Hotel Oranien" (a hotel until 1937). From 1928 to 1933, the conductor Carl Schuricht lived in the house, which was built in the late classicist style with baroque elements. After the Second World War, the building became the seat of the Hessian State Chancellery: the Hessian Minister President resided here until 2004. Since the beginning of 2007, it has served as the Hessian Chamber of Architects and Town Planners.

Art Nouveau and neo-baroque come together in the former Hotel Bellevue in Wilhelmstraße. The façade still looks as it once did; only the stores on the first floor have affected the appearance of the building. Inside, the staircase in particular retains its original features. A large part of the former dining room, now known as the "Bellevue Hall", has also been preserved. An art association for contemporary art called "Verein zur Förderung künstlerischer Projekte mit gesellschaftlicher Relevanz e.V." (Association for the Promotion of Artistic Projects with Social Relevance) holds exhibitions there.

The house with the sandstone façade at Marktstraße 10 is in the neo-baroque style. A stately inn called "Grüner Wald" had stood on the same site since the 16th century. In 1899/1900, the architect Wilhelm Rehbold rebuilt the building as the "Grüner Wald" hotel. Even today, the regular layout of the equally sized balconies bears witness to the building's former function as a hotel. The building was renovated between 1995 and 1997 and has since been used as a residential and commercial building.

The bathhouse "Zum Rebhuhn" or "Rebhinkel" was located in the previous building of the Pariser Hof and was rebuilt after the Thirty Years' War. It had been reserved for Jewish bathers since 1724, and in 1791 the official requirement was added to accommodate a certain number of destitute Jews who were excluded from using the community baths.

Wiesbaden's first rabbi, Abraham Salomon Tendlau, sold the building to Isaak Hiffelsheimer in 1832. The latter acquired the neighboring property and had a larger new building, the "Pariser Hof", built. The Jewish tradition of the house ended with its sale to Friedrich von Wagner.

Over the years, the owners changed, as did the appearance of the building: rococo motifs were placed above the windows on the second floor, which became a characteristic feature of the house. Other features include the arched sandstone windows on the first floor and the entrance door.

The historic "Pariser Hof" bathhouse now houses the "Theater im Pariser Hof" (formerly the "Pariser Hoftheater") and the "Aktive Museum Spiegelgasse".

The listed building at Nerotal 18, together with its predecessor, looks back on around 160 years of history: the merchant Samuel Löwenherz set up a cold-water spa there in 1851 after having his Tuchwalkmühle mill converted. In 1905, the two-and-a-half-storey building was demolished in favor of a taller new building in a simplified Wilhelmine-Neo-Baroque style by the architect Albert Wolff. The "Kurhaus Bad Nerotal" hotel was reopened in April 1907 and enjoyed its most successful years from 1930 onwards, attracting wealthy patients from Germany and abroad. Bombs destroyed the upper floor in 1944 - the two doctors later continued to run the clinic in the intact part of the building until 1957.

In 1992, the Gemeinnützige Wohnungsgesellschaft der Stadt Wiesbaden acquired the villa and began renovation work. Since 1997, the former "Kurhaus Bad Nerotal" has also served as a venue for the private theater "thalhaus".

The former palace hotel was built between 1903 and 1905 to replace two old bathhouses.

During excavation work, the remains of a Roman thermal bath complex were discovered in the excavation pit, proving that people bathed in hot water here in Roman times.

The building quickly became one of Wiesbaden's major hotels, which accommodated numerous famous personalities during its heyday.

Following a conversion in 1976/77, it is still used today as "social housing", certainly one of the most unusual conversions of a grand hotel.

The building, which today houses the "Konditorei Kunder" and until 2025 "Teppich Michel", is part of the late historicist construction phase in Wilhelmstrasse. The building was constructed around 1900 as Café Hohenzollern with neo-baroque facades and cupolas. A short time later, the Beckel brothers acquired the building and integrated it into the adjoining "Metropole" hotel. The large dome still dominates Wilhelmstrasse today and plays a key role in shaping the avenue's magnificent appearance.
