Places of Historicism - Neroberg
From Wiesbaden's local mountain, you have a wonderful panoramic view over Wiesbaden - and even as far as Mainz and the Rhine-Main region on a clear day.
The Neroberg
The Neroberg, Wiesbaden's local mountain, has borne its name since 1750. 245 meters above sea level, it is a popular excursion destination for the people of Wiesbaden.
As early as the first half of the 19th century, the Neroberg served as a venue for numerous festivities and was a popular meeting place for leisure activities. On the southern slopes of the Neroberg is a vineyard that was established in 1525 and has been cultivated by the Hessian state wineries Kloster Eberbach since 2005.
In 1851, Philipp Hoffmann created the Monopteros, a viewing temple in the style of the Italian Renaissance. Just below on the Neroberg is the Russian Church, whose golden domes can be seen from afar.
The original Neroberghotel with its late historicist tower, designed by Felix Genzmer, fell victim to a fire in 1986. Today, only the tower remains, a café was added later. Events take place in the "Erlebnismulde", which was created in 1994, during the summer months.
