Architecture Day 2026: WiBau Presents the Elisabeth Selbert School

On Saturday and Sunday, June 27 and 28, Architecture Day will once again take place in Germany. WiBau GmbH is participating in this nationwide series of events and will open the doors of the Elisabeth-Selbert-Schule in Wiesbaden. As Project No. 108, the school has been included in the official program of the Chamber of Architects and Urban Planners of Hesse and offers visitors the opportunity to experience modern educational architecture up close.

As the project owner, WiBau has created the Elisabeth Selbert School—a forward-looking learning environment that meets the requirements of modern pedagogy as well as the standards for functionality, sustainability, and quality of the learning environment. The project exemplifies WiBau’s commitment to the development and construction of public educational facilities in Wiesbaden.

“Investments in schools are investments in the future of our city. The Elisabeth Selbert School demonstrates how modern architecture, functionality, and educational requirements can be brought together into a compelling overall concept. Architecture Day offers the ideal opportunity to let the public experience this quality firsthand,” says Andreas Kowol, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of WiBau and Head of the Department of Construction and Transportation.

Dr. Hendrik Schmehl, Head of the Department of Finance, Schools, and Culture, emphasizes the project’s significance for Wiesbaden as an educational hub: “Good schools need good spaces. The Elisabeth Selbert School offers a modern learning environment that meets the demands of contemporary education and creates optimal conditions for students and teachers. By investing in our educational infrastructure, we are not only enhancing the quality of learning but also investing in the future of our city. Architecture Day now offers a special opportunity to present this successful project to the public.”

As a municipal construction and real estate company, WiBau plays a central role in the development of sustainable public infrastructure. In doing so, it focuses equally on the needs of users and on the long-term cost-effectiveness and sustainability of the buildings.

“WiBau sees itself as a reliable partner to the state capital of Wiesbaden in the implementation of ambitious construction projects. The Elisabeth Selbert School is a successful example of how modern educational spaces are created that meet today’s requirements while also opening up opportunities for future generations,” explains Christoph Golla, Managing Director of WiBau GmbH.

On Architecture Day, visitors will have the opportunity to explore the building during guided tours. These tours will provide insights into the planning, construction, and usage concepts of the school.

“Anyone who visits the school will quickly realize that far more than just classrooms have been created here. The building supports modern forms of learning and creates a variety of gathering places for the entire school community. I look forward to working with the architects from Dorsch Engineers to personally introduce visitors to the architectural and functional features of the Elisabeth-Selbert-Schule. To that end, we’re offering guided tours on Architecture Day at 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, and 4:00 p.m., providing fascinating insights into the building’s development and use,” says Joachim Chrometzka, team leader at WiBau.

Every year, Architecture Day offers the opportunity to learn about outstanding construction projects and engage in conversation with those involved. WiBau cordially invites all interested parties to visit the Elisabeth Selbert School at Willi-Werner-Straße 3 and see for themselves what modern educational architecture in Wiesbaden looks like. The guided tours will take place on Saturday, June 27, at 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, and 4:00 p.m.; the meeting point is the school’s main entrance.
