Design and monument advisory board

The Design and Monument Advisory Board is an independent advisory body. It contributes to the positive development of the built cityscape in Wiesbaden.

The photo shows a group of around 25 people standing on the promenade on the banks of the Rhine in front of a ruined-looking building on a spring day. The people are talking to each other. The surroundings of the damaged building are picturesque: you can see far up the river. The sky is a clear, brilliant blue. The houses in the background are intact. A memorable picture.

Next meeting

Wednesday, November 19, 2025

Advisory Board members Prof. Sophie Wolfrum, Prof. Dr. Udo Gleim and Prof. Roland Burgard will be given a ceremonial farewell at the end of their six-year term of office (since 2019). We would like to thank them warmly for their many years of valuable commitment to the further development of Wiesbaden's built cityscape.

Prof. Louisa Hutton and Luca Kist will continue their work on the Advisory Board; they were appointed in 2023. The names of the new Advisory Board members will be announced in the new year.

Dates in 2026

The dates for the coming year will be announced here in December 2025.

Tasks

The Design and Monument Advisory Board advises public and private construction projects that influence the cityscape of Wiesbaden. The main focus of the consultation is to ensure that the project fits in well with its surroundings, is attractively and functionally designed and is implemented economically and sustainably.

It is particularly helpful for clients and planning teams, the city administration and city councillors if the consultation takes place early in the concept or preliminary design phase. This is because new and helpful recommendations can then be easily incorporated and implemented.

The meetings of the Design and Monument Advisory Board are organized by its office in the City Planning Office. Suggestions for the agenda can be made by the client, the city administration, political bodies and the advisory board.

The establishment of the advisory board was decided by the city council in 2012. It normally meets four times a year.
