Wilhelmstraße (Wiesbaden)

The Wilhelmstrasse is a representative boulevard of the Hessian capital Wiesbaden. Planned and created was the one-sided tree-lined boulevard from Wiesbaden city architect Christian Zais ( 1770-1820 ). It was named after the Duke of Nassau William I of Nassau -Weilburg, who resided in the city from 1816 to 1839. It leads from Kureck (Junction Taunusstraße and Sonneberg Road ) south to the Rhine street, forming the eastern boundary of the historic pentagon. Thus it forms at the same time, the boundary between the old town of Wiesbaden in the west and the eastern spa and villa area. At the Wilhelmstrasse many classy shops are located.

At the corner of Frankfurter Strasse stands the Villa Clementine, a few houses away is the Nassau Art Association and at the south end, a sculpture by Joannis Avramidis, at the junction with the Rhine Street, the Museum Wiesbaden and the Rhine -Main-Hallen.
