You're standing at Biebrich Palace, right on the bank of the Rhine in Biebrich, a district of Wiesbaden. Take a look at that long Baroque front. It looks like one grand palace built in a single go, but it actually grew piece by piece. And if you look closely, you can still tell.

Biebrich Palace in Wiesbaden: a palace on the Rhine

Biebrich Palace in Wiesbaden is a attraction in the form of a large palace. The building is known as the former home of several princes and dukes. Today the state government uses it for receptions, and the state monument authority has its offices here. You will find this Biebrich Palace in Wiesbaden on the Rheingaustraße, close to the bank of the Rhine and opposite the small island Biebricher Wörth.

The history of Biebrich Palace

Georg August Samuel van Nassau-Idstein began building a first pavilion here in 1702. A second pavilion was added shortly after. The architect Johann Maximilian von Welsch later joined both parts with a gallery and a round ballroom, which was finished in 1721. After 1734, Karl of the Nassau-Usingen branch made the palace his permanent residence. The architect Friedrich Joachim Stengel then built the east wing, and the west wing followed a little later. From 1816 to 1866, the Nassau rulers lived here. In 1935, Charlotte van Luxemburg sold the palace to Pruisen. During the Tweede Wereldoorlog, the building was badly damaged. Between 1980 and 1982, the state of Hessen restored the palace and rebuilt part of it.
