Adolfshöhe (Wiesbaden)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mosbacher Berg with the water tower from the Neroberg .

The Adolfshöhe is an area largely belonging to Wiesbaden-Biebrich on both sides of the Biebricher Allee on the border with the Wiesbaden district . It is often associated with the national monument erected in 1906 , which depicts Duke Adolph von Nassau, Grand Duke of Luxembourg and his subjects. This stands between the Richard-Wagner-Anlage and the Biebricher Allee where the Adolfshöhe begins to drop to the south in the direction of Biebrich.

Originally the center point, today in the narrower sense the northern end of Adolfshöhe, is the intersection of Biebricher Allee / 2. Ring, where the popular, now defunct day-trip restaurant Adolph's Höhe opened in 1856 . A development plan expressly resolved jointly by Biebrich and Wiesbaden for Adolfshöhe in 1870 provided for a villa area along Biebricher Allee, which was supplemented from 1905 by further villa construction areas west of Biebricher Allee, among others. a. the "Villa Colony Adolfshöhe" with Rittershausstraße, Nassauer Straße, Römerweg and Cheruskerweg. Both on Biebricher Allee and in the extensions to the villa area, many well-preserved older villas can still be seen today.

The hill is also known as Mosbacher Berg , named after the Biebrich suburb of Mosbach, and due to the catchment area of ​​the high school on Mosbacher Berg, it is hardly known as Adolfshöhe today. Through road construction cuts, i. H. the motorway south of the state monument and the 2nd ring are mostly only perceived as the section mentioned above as the Adolfshöhe. In addition to the sights mentioned under state monument, the main landmark, the Biebrich water tower in the villa section of Rudolf-Vogt-Straße east of the avenue, and otherwise above all the Heilig-Geist-Kirche , which is the center of a post-war development area has also become a landmark of Adolfshöhe.
