Places
The most important square is the Schlossplatz with the market fountain, which is located between the City Palace , the Old Town Hall , the New Town Hall and the Market Church .
While the Nassau duke tolerated the market with his closeness to the people, it was too loud for the Prussian emperor. The square should serve marches, parades and well-formed popular appearances and be a sovereign area to be kept free from "low popular turmoil". A new market square with a market cellar and market column was built behind the market church and the new town hall. Here the goods could be stored in the cellar vault. Today the market cellar is used as a city museum, the market area serves as the catering area for the Lumen restaurant. The market is held on Wednesdays and Saturdays on the adjacent Dern'schen area , where many events take place.

The Kochbrunnenplatz with the Kochbrunnen is located in the direction of Taunusstraße . In front of it, between the former palace hotel and the Schwarzer Bock hotel, lies the Kranzplatz.
The Wiesbaden-Mitte local advisory board
The Central Local Advisory Council has existed since 1972. The resolutions of the local advisory council are - with a few exceptions - not binding for the magistrate and city council .
The sole right of the local council is to name streets and squares. When streets and squares are renamed and renamed, the local advisory board is very often guided by the memory of the victims of the Nazi era and the people involved in the democratic reconstruction.
In recent years, Mittelstrasse in Wiesbaden's old town, the so-called Historic Pentagon , has been renamed Alfons-Paquet- Strasse . Also in the area of Bahnhofstrasse and the corner of Kronprinzenstrasse, a square in Geschwister-Stock-Platz was named after two Jewish children Josef and Rosel Stock, who were deported by the Nazis and murdered in the Sobibor concentration camp in eastern Poland. In memory of an important painter and local poet, the area around the fountain in Kaspar-Kögler- Platz in Adolfsallee was named. The local advisory council named the street in front of the new Hessian State Chancellery after Georg-August Zinn , Prime Minister of many years . Finally, through its naming rights, the local advisory board ended a long-term political dispute over the official naming of the Dern'schen site between the town hall and Friedrichstrasse by officially naming this place as Dern'sches site for the first time .
The meetings of the local council are public.

In 1985, the local advisory council concluded the first red-green coalition in Wiesbaden at the district level. As a result, a member of the Greens parliamentary group was elected deputy mayor, although the Greens was only the third largest party and the CDU claimed this position as the second largest force in the local advisory board. This coalition lasted - with a brief interruption at the beginning of the nineties due to differences of opinion about the development of the Dern'schen site - until 2001. After that, a green-black coalition was formed in the local council, also the first in Wiesbaden at the local council level, although the SPD as strongest party wanted to continue to provide the mayor.
