Use of the reading room and accessibility of the city archive
Extensive construction work is currently taking place at the Wiesbaden City Archive, which should significantly improve working and usage conditions from 2026. The construction measures and staff shortages will have an impact on service operations. For the time being, visits to the reading room of the Wiesbaden City Archive will only be possible by booking an appointment in advance. This must be done at least one week in advance.
