Culture and History of Wiesbaden

Wiesbaden was built by the Romans 2000 years ago, after they discovered the miraculous thermal springs that they clearly couldn’t live without. The city became an instant attraction after the first bath houses were built and managed to flourish thereafter. The building of castles and fortresses followed, before Emperor William II oversaw the cultural development of the city. The architectural revolution paved the way for many great poets and musicians to follow suit, making Wiesbaden one of the most elegant cities of the Wilhelminian era. Luckily, many of the buildings still stand today, having somehow managed to escape the clutches of 2 world wars.
