Paulinenschlösschen (Wiesbaden)
The Paulinenschlösschen was a palace in Wiesbaden that was built in the middle of the 19th century and destroyed in the Second World War. It was the widow's residence of Pauline von Württemberg and was located on Princess-Elisabeth-Strasse in Wiesbaden.
From 1841 the construction of the castle planned by Theodor Goetz began. Although the construction work could only be completed in 1843, Pauline von Württemberg and her children moved into the unfinished castle at the end of 1841. After the Duchess's death, the building remained in the family until 1896, when it was sold to a private individual.
In order to be able to continue the events during the new construction of the Kurhaus , the city of Wiesbaden bought the palace in 1900 and had it converted into a temporary Kurhaus. After the completion of the new Kurhaus in 1907, the Paulinenschlösschen was used as a town hall and in this function it was a festive setting for numerous events such as festivals and exhibitions.
On the night of February 2nd to 3rd, 1945, the castle was badly damaged in a bomb attack. The ruin was demolished after the war. Since then, the area has served as a parking lot.
