We visited Wiesbaden, Germany! This was both of our first time visiting this city. Wiesbaden is very close to Frankfurt with s-bahn access to the city and airport. Wiesbaden is along the Rhine River, although the city center is about a 15 minute drive north. We wanted to check out as much of the city as we could during our trip and get a feel of the city. :) What are your thoughts of the city of Wiesbaden? #Wiesbaden #Germany #BestGermanCity

I definitely recommend getting connected as soon as you arrive to curb some of that homesickness (because it is real and a very valid thing to feel!! Especially when you are an expecting mama!). Adjustments can be scary and overwhelming, but I promise it DOES get better. Just give it time. I'm due with my second kiddo next week and I'm delivering at a German clinic, so if you have any questions or need any support, you just let me know once you're here.

Yeah, there's definitely a Mainz-Wiesbaden rivalry. Wiesbaden was always viewed as being more for upper-class people and maybe being more snobby by the Mainzers. But Mainz is now getting more expensive to live in while available apartments are becoming scarce. It's not the hidden gem that it once was just a few years ago. A lot of my friends there have had to move further and further out. I'm heavily bias being half-American, and half-Mainzer, but I'd highly recommend moving there if the opportunity knocks.

I've been to Wiesbaden, Mainz, Bonn, Koblenz, Dusseldorf, Koln/Deutz, Franfurt/Sachsenhausen, Freiburg and a few other smaller cities I can't remember. Spent 10 days in Freiburg during the Summer Solstice a few years ago. There is something very special about the Dreisam River in Freiburg during the Solstice! The added bonus of having the Black Forest made this my favorite German city. It's also the warmest city in Germany. Maybe go check it out during the solstice. I saw so many people relaxing and enjoying the calm river at dusk. Very serene.

Wiesbaden is a very beautiful city to live in with a lot of flair and quality. The proximity to the Rheingau and Taunus but also to Frankfurt make the region extremely attractive. I consider the combination with Mainz on the other side of the Rhine a great asset, as both cities cooperate instead of competing.

Finally, the area that's most near and dear to me. I was stationed about a 15 minute ride on the S-Bahn from Wiesbaden, in Rüsselsheim Am Main. We were technically part of the Mainz military community, but I also made lots of trips to Wiesbaden. There used to be a much larger U.S. military presence in that whole area back in the day, but my old base in Rüsselsheim, along with most of the bases in Mainz and Wiesbaden are either closed or drastically scaled down now. I'm planning a trip to Germany in 2023 and will definitely spend some time back in that Rhein-Main area. It'd be cool to have a beer with y'all.

K-Town was my grandpa’s first duty station out of the US in the 50s. A couple months into his assignment his American girl friend followed him to Germany (by ship) … they were the first American couple that got married at the Standesamt in Kaiserslautern 😊. Over the course of the following years they had three daughters, PCSed all over the place and got stationed in Germany a total of 3 times. They moved to a small village close to Wiesbaden during his 3rd tour…and decided to stay once he had retired from the air-force and got himself a contractor job. All his daughters ended up marrying a German and stayed as well ….Ironically, decades later, his granddaughter - me 😉 - met an US soldier stationed in Kaiserslautern, got married and after a few years received orders for Fort Bragg / Fayetteville North Carolina ….which is approximately 15 miles away from my grandpa’s home town 😅 I personally love Wiesbaden … unlike Mainz, it wasn’t really bombed during WWll, so all the incredibly beautiful old houses remained intact.

Auch Wiesbaden wurde zerbombt und es gab viele Tote und Verletzte. Andere Städte wurden noch stärker zerstört. Wiesbaden hatte Glück, daß viele historische Gebäude (möglicherweise vorsätzlich) von Briten und Amerikanern verschont blieben. Die Amerikaner hatten vielleicht damals schon Wiesbaden als ihre Residenz im Nachkriegsdeutschland auserkoren und verschonten deshalb die Stadt. Wenn man die Stadt genau ansieht, kann man sehen, wo nach dem Krieg ein Neuaufbau stattfand.

I was born and raised here. Some facts about the „Schloss Biebrich“ The „Herzog von Nassau“ builded it. The „Schlosspark“ was his garden… Imagine having a garden that is the size of a park… People who had a huge influence on world’s history visited the palace Biebrich as well. Like Napoleon, Hitler etc. I love your video cheers!

Since you are already in Wiesbaden swing over to Mainz and than further to Bad Kreuznach. Bad Kreuznach is a real pretty smaller City. That's where I come from. My sister lives in Wiesbaden. I am a German who has been living in the US for 35 years now.

Pretty cool. My wife and I worked on the Airbase at Erbenheim when we were stationed there with the US Army. Our first home was on Rathausstrasse, just up from the river and three blocks over from Scholss Biebrich. Love the bike paths along the Rhine there. Biked all the way to Rudesheim from Biebrich once.

I am born and raised in Wiesbaden, it's a great city. It was a wonderfull city to grow up in and I still love living here. It is just perfectly located if you like to travel, we love spending a weekend in Straßburg which is only about 2 1/2 hours drive. And there is so much to do an dicover in the areas directly around in Wiesbaden. The Rheingau is amazingly beautifull. Just be aware of our huge traffic troubles. For month and month the "Salzbachtalbrücke" has been our curse (there was even a radio jingel made for by a radio station they played for the at least twice daily really big traffic jams) and it was blown up just last weekend. Until the bridge is rebuild we will continue to have terrible traffic. And traffic politics in Wiesbaden in generall a big problem, even without the Salzbachtalbrücke.

I love the Church in the mountain in Idar-Oberstein! It is so beautiful! Especially at night when it’s lit up! K-Town is amazing as well! Downtown BK (Bad Kreuznach) is lovely and it’s on the water. In BK you can go to Kuhburg Hill and see all of the city. I loved my 3 years in Germany!

Wiesbaden was the residence city of the House of Nassau, the capital of the Duchy of Nassau, and then became an important city during the imperial era. That's why there all these fancy buildings there and why you don't find them just everywhere. Stuttgart or Potsdam had a similar status for example.

A bit of history in Wiesbaden. I am sure you may have read about the US hostages held in Iran? 1979-1980 When they were freed they flew to Frankfurt and had to recover from their ordeal at "Amelia Earhart" hospital in Wiesbaden. I happened to be in the Army then and took the train to Frankfurt and saw the plane and then to the hospital.
