Wiesbaden Flea Market

The Wiesbaden flea market season is open March through October at “Am Parkfeld” in Wiesbaden-Biebrich. Flea markets take place every third Saturday of the month from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. along a flea market mile where useful, artistic, as well as curios and bric-à-brac and quite a few odd things change hands.


Charming Wiesbaden

Wiesbaden is a green and elegant city of parks, gardens and villas. Its hot springs have brought tourists to the city since Roman times.

The Kurhaus
Wiesbaden’s Kurhaus is a major focus point at the very center of the city. With its spa assembly rooms and elegant casino, built in 1907, the Kurhaus is an imposing building which is frequently used as a venue for national and international congresses, exhibitions and cultural events. English-style spa gardens extend behind the spa assembly rooms.

Historical old quarter
Narrow winding streets lined with 18th and 19th century buildings run through Wiesbaden’s old quarter. Bäckerbrunnen fountain on Grabenstrasse is now a popular meeting place. The oldest structure in Wiesbaden is the Heidensmauer, or Heathens’ Wall, which is close to the Roman gate. 15 different springs flow into the Kochbrunnen drinking fountain and in the 19th century it was the main place in Wiesbaden to take the waters.

Perfect for shopping
The elegant Wilhelmstrasse is the place to go for exclusive and luxury goods, haute couture, jewellery, accessories for the home and many international designer brands. Taunusstrasse is at the heart of Wiesbaden’s antiques quarter where countless out-of-the-ordinary antique shops are located. The romantic passageways in the old quarter are full of boutiques offering curiosities, the nostalgic and the unusual.

Culture
As a regional capital Wiesbaden enjoys a diverse cultural scene. From the European Circus Festival, the Caligari municipal cinema, one of the most beautiful picture houses in Germany, the Wiesbaden School of Music and Art to the Women’s Detective Fiction Prize, Wiesbaden covers pretty much every aspect of vibrant, innovative cutting-edge culture.

Opera, drama and ballet productions form part of the State of Hesse Theater’s comprehensive cultural offering that includes classical works as well as modern music theatre. Because all three of the theater’s stages can be used simultaneously, it is not unusual for four performances to take place on one day.

Getting out of the city
Virtually the whole of Wiesbaden can be seen from Neroberg hill, which is a good starting point for longer walks. Its beautiful lawns are ideal for a picnic and it is a wonderful place to escape from everyday life. Neroberg hill is an ideal starting point for walks through the town forest and is itself an extensive recreation area.

With around 50 animal species and many rare plants, Fasanerie Zoo and Gardens is a popular day out for families.

Tours of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site, leave daily from the Wiesbaden-Biebrich jetty.

The Freudenberg Smithy

Schmied

©  e.V. Schloß Freudenberg

Marius, a young man from Frauenstein, came to the Freudenberg one day and told us that he was the only European training to become a katana swordsmith and was looking for a place to work. So we started to “forge” this project with him. Now the idea has matured and the forge is ready. Experience how heat energy is transferred and how metals behave when they are heated, cooled or shaped. If you want to swing the blacksmith’s hammer yourself and forge a nail to then “hang something on the nail…”

OPENING HOURS
For free visitors. Sundays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. (included in the day ticket)
For groups: Tuesdays to Thursdays bookable as part of a guided tour

GUIDED TOURS & WORKSHOPS
You can now book guided tours (1.5h) or workshops (3h) in the new Freudenberg Forge – for your school class, your company, your club or simply because it’s nice!

CHILDREN’S BIRTHDAY PARTY
Forge the iron while it’s hot! In the birthday forge workshop, birthday children and their guests can look over Marius’ shoulder, swing the hammer and get down to business. Always bookable on Sundays, suitable for people aged 10 and over.
