Nordost is a district of the Hessian state capital Wiesbaden .

The city district includes Eigenheim, the Neroberg , the Nerotal, the Dambachtal and the composer's quarter. Often the district is called Eigenheim-Nordost . The Kurhaus with the Kurpark and Bowling Green and the Hessian State Theater with the Warmen Damm also belong to the city district.

Residential areas

Home

The Eigenheim settlement is an upscale residential area with villas and single-family homes. There are also apartments of the Federal Criminal Police Office , which is located here.

Nerotal

The Nero Valley is also an upscale residential area with many Wilhelminian style villas. In the valley floor of the Schwarzbach , which flows over the Salzbach into the Rhine and which rises at the Rabengrund , are the elongated Nerotal systems , at the upper end of which is the valley station of the water-powered Nerobergbahn , which connects the Neroberg with the Nerotal. In the south it borders on the Bergkirchenviertel of the Mitte district.

Neroberg

Russian Orthodox Church on the Neroberg

The Neroberg is also an upscale residential area with many Wilhelminian style villas. On it are the Opelbad , a swimming pool with a view over the whole of Wiesbaden, the mountain station of the Nerobergbahn and the Russian Orthodox Church (incorrectly also called the Greek chapel ).

Spa district

The spa district encloses the spa park , bowling green , spa house , state theater , Kureck, Kranzplatz, Kochbrunnenplatz with the Kochbrunnen as well as the adjacent area up to Webergasse, whereby the south side of Taunusstrasse and the west side of Wilhelmstrasse including the Kranzplatz belong to the city district Mitte .

The Villa Clementine literary house with the press club is on Wilhelmstrasse at the corner of Frankfurter Strasse , and the gallery of the Nassau Art Association is a few doors down.

Generously laid out park landscapes such as the Kurpark , Bowling Green , Rambachtal, Aukammtal and Warmen Damm characterize the spa district.

Composers Quarter

Upscale residential area with villas and single-family houses from the post-war period, in which all streets are named after composers. It is north of Sonnenberger Strasse.

History of the district

Up until the 19th century there were only a few buildings in what is now the north-east district, such as Hof Geisberg, which was built in 1788, until in 1818 the planned development of the slope side of Taunusstraße began as the end of what would later become known as the “historical pentagon”. In addition, on the former Allee zum Wiesenbrunnen, which had been used by spa guests for decades to “stroll”, the society house, later known as the Kursaal, was built between 1808 and 1810.

Around the same time as the Paulinenschlösschen was built from 1841 to 1845, the first villas were built on Sonnenberger Strasse opposite the Kurhaus and south of it on Bierstadter Strasse. Both areas developed into the preferred residential area of the affluent social classes; loosened up by park-like gardens, they became the “Green Quarter” of Wiesbaden. Parts of the former Wiesbaden Kronen brewery have been preserved.

The development to the northwest of Röderstrasse, which began two decades later, was much more dense, as was the city expansion in a northeastern direction towards the Geisberg. Close to the Russian Church, the so-called Greek Chapel, built between 1847 and 1855, another generously proportioned villa development was gradually built up until the First World War, which culminated at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries with the development of the Nero Valley as a residential area . The old cemetery opened in 1832 - today an amusement park - was thus finally included in the urban structure; Since the completion of the north cemetery in 1877, however, only relatively few burials have taken place here. With the opening of the Nerobergbahn in 1888, which also offered easy access to the Neroberghotel, which was built in 1881, a tourist attraction was created that still exists today. In 1934, the Opelbad was added as a further urban accent . Four years earlier, the “Unter den Eichen” fairground was the scene of a monumental event on the occasion of the “Liberation of the Rhineland”, as the withdrawal of the occupation troops stationed here since the First World War was called. Also on the site was from 1944 to 1945, a subcamp of the SS -Sonderlagers Hinzert to which today KZ -Gedenkstätte Under the oaks at the Carl-von-Ibell Lane recalls. After the Second World War, companies from the film and television industry settled on the former fairground, and from 1964 to 1984 the ZDF also had its headquarters here.

The Federal Criminal Police Office , which was inaugurated in 1953, set particular accents in the construction activity after the Second World War , but also a number of smaller construction projects, such as the former Brockhaus publishing house on the Leberberg. At the very edge of the city district, in the Wiesbaden city forest, the ruins of the Platte hunting lodge, which was built between 1823 and 1826 and destroyed in 1945, invite you to visit, located on the road originally called “platea”, which has long led from the Rhine to Limburg.
