The focus is on a tiny explorer: the pipistrelle bat. On her journey through Wiesbaden, she guides visitors through various habitats—from forests to meadows and bodies of water, all the way to gardens and balconies. Everywhere she goes, she encounters animals and plants that demonstrate how important her habitat is and what they need to survive.

It becomes clear: the diversity of nature—known as biodiversity—is the foundation of our lives. It ensures clean water, fertile soil, plant pollination, and a stable climate. At the same time, it is also omnipresent in the city if you look closely.

The exhibition explains in an accessible way what biological diversity means and why protecting it is so important. Especially in a city like Wiesbaden, even small areas play a major role—such as gardens, green spaces, or balconies, which serve as important stepping stones in nature’s network.

And everyone can contribute in their daily lives to strengthening nature right on their own doorstep. With many concrete examples and practical tips for everyday life, the exhibition encourages visitors to take action.
