The Neues Rathaus (New City Hall) on the south-eastern side of the Schlossplatz was built between 1884 and 1887 according to the plans of Georg von Hauberrisser.

The Neo-Renaissance facade was destroyed by bombs in February of 1945 and restored in 1951, albeit in a simpler rendering. The imperial eagle, flanked by the lions of Nassau and the lilies of Wiesbaden, can be seen on the paving in front of City Hall.

There are regularly rotating art exhibitions on Wiesbaden and its partner cities.

Opening hours:
Mon. to Fri.:   9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Sat.:   10 a.m. to 2 p.m.


Near City Hall there is the Dern'sches Gelände, a generous plaza, which has an underground parking garage as well as the revived historic underground Market Hall. The Marktsäule (ornamental pillar) and the Marktbrunnen (old market fountain) are worth seeing.
