WIESBADEN - Best German City to live in?

Trier is also nice. Friendlier than normal for Germans.

I started following your channel a year ago when we found out we would be moving to Wiesbaden! We've been here for 11 months, now. I've learned so much about German culture and food by watching your shenanigans. Wiesbaden has been a wonderful place to live, and if you choose to move here, you will not be disappointed. :)

[@Ashley-vx9fg]

I’m moving to Wiesbaden in January. Initially I wasn’t excited but I’ve been watching all sorts of videos and reading all sorts of blogs so I’m warming up to the idea now. I’m having my first baby a few months after I get there and I’m afraid I’ll be homesick.

[@AshleyLourenco]

@@Ashley-vx9fg Wiesbaden is such a beautiful city. 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.

[@Oceanic83]

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.

[@stefane9720]

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.

[@KillertoastGaming]

[@mohomoho1]

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.

[@luckyqualmi]

Sitting at the Dreisam on a summer evening is awesome. :) Freiburg also has the "Föhn", a strong warm wind often coming in the afternoon. The city center isn't too big and besides the Schwarzwald the Lake of Constace isn't that far too.

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.

[@Oceanic83]

Finthen barracks has been converted into apartments and the whole former base is now it's own little community.

I was actually laid up in the hospital there with chicken pox for a week ot two. They couldn't let me stay in the barracks in Ruesselsheim and infect anybody else! When I got discharged from the hospital, I told my unit not to bother picking me up. I'd just take the train home. After being in the bed so long, that walk to the hauptbahnhof almost took me out! 😄

My favourite German cities are Hamburg, Luebeck, Freiburg, Heidelberg, Koblenz and Trier. I've since been to Weimar and have been recommended Dresden. Renting an apartment in W. is expensive, so I was told. You showed a lot of the city, well presented.👍🍺🇬🇧

Try Regensburg as well. Never been destroyed, got poor so that there are still a lot of old buildings.

Wiesbaden ist more expensive, because many celebrities and rich people live here. In Mainz and the other cities live more normal people.

Wiesbaden is my hometown. I really love it, since it is not such a big city like Frankfurt. Wiesbaden is very comfy and I love to walk around the central city. Really recommend it. And for all those who like to go to a bigger city from time to time, Frankfurt is really nearby. Also the Frankfurt Airport ist a big plus if you like travelling.

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.

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.

[@ingwer55]

Schöne Geschichte ... :)

[@dagmarkiontke]

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.

[@SargeRho]

My fiancee lives there, and I'll probably be moving there within a year. It's a wonderful city, open, not as crowded as Frankfurt where I live now, and the Schiersteiner Hafen is perfect for taking long walks with the dogs :D

Enroe was born, or in the park behind the Casino where you find a statue of Russian writer Dostojewski - his novel "The Gambler" referrs to a larger group of Russian oligars, aristrocats who loved to spend time in their Villas during summer , as also traditionally Kaiser Wilhelm spent the month of May in Wiesbaden and so did many European Royals, - at one point in history Wiesbaden had more millionaires than any other city in Germany - it just was the place to be - and it's visible till today - and b.t.w the Schlosspark in Biebrich ( is an traditional location at Pfingsten of one of the most scenic and elegant horse show tournaments in Europe - certainly you missed the famous "Cafe Maldaner" - would have given you 100% authentic taste of Vienna, so you sure have to come back and check it out :-)

A bit of history 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.

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.

It is worth noting that WI has one the hippest and overall best music venues in Germany, the Schlachthof right behind Hauptbahnhof. It's big room has a capacity of 2.000 so it is large enough to host some really popular bands, lots of indie rock, hiphop and singer-songwriter concerts. There is also a smaller room for club concerts plus, of course, a nice beergarden. In the summer they always hold some huge open air concerts. Also WI has some unique independent movie theaters and numerous film festivals. Just in case you develop a taste for classical music anytime in the future, Kurhaus and Staatstheater have a lot of those concerts plus every summer there is the Rheingau Musik Festivals, one of the most prestigious classical music festivals in Europe. Thanks to it being the gateway to the Rheingau wine region there are also lots of Weinfeste in WI. So there is a lot going on all throughout the year. Not to forget that the Christmas market is really nice as well. The US military housing is indeed at the edge of the city and the airbase even further out in Erbenheim, half-way to Mainz. But the US community in WI is strong, about 20.000 people. The European headquarter of the US Army is base in WI.

[@wtsalive8210]

If you will decide to live in Wiesbaden, than I have a hint for you. Don’t rent a flat in Wiesbaden itself, looking for a flat in Tainusstein. It’s a Verbandsgemeinde very close to Wiesbaden, but the location is much nicer. You have better fresh air due to the forests around The area Kaiserslautern had more military bases than Wiesbaden. In Kaiserslautern were two army bases, a big tank brigade and a big infantry brigade, the biggest military hospital in Landstuhl and than the airbase Ramstein. If I am right, than about over 30,000 soldiers(GIs, pilots, ground crews, hospital members) were based there additional their families. Therefore the influences are bigger than somewhere else in Europe

I fell in love with the city the first time I visited it - so much different from other cities in Hessen. However there is a downside to it too. If you do not have a car and have to use public transport, then it sucks big times! Unlike a lot of German cities it does not have a tram (Straßenbahn) but only buses. Which means if there is a traffic jam, then you are stuck in that jam just like any other car if you are on a bus (normal situation between 8-10 am and around 16-18 pm). It doesn't happen if there is a tram (at least have never experienced it in Darmstadt, Frankfurt, Heidelberg or Mainz).

PS: the Army area is a bit outside, the main part is at Erbenheim, there is an Airbase and a bigger living area... But therer are a lot more areas on the outskirts - Hainerberg Village and Aukamm area

Die meisten Amerikaner sind abgezogen. Das eine Haus an der Schwalbacherstraße war mal Drehort für einen Film mit Romy Schneider/ Wenn der weiße Flieder wieder blüht ❤👋

Nice video. Thanks for sharing this wonderful place. Take care to both of you. :-)

I lived in Wiesbaden for 10 years! The best city and safest city in Germany! Everyone is nice and speak English! A must visit place if you ever go to Germany! ❤🎉

[@michaelpetsch6691]

The first City I spent the night when returning to Germany as an Adult. Perhaps one of my favorites! I love it!

[@jetman1965]

Lived in Wiesbaden from 1976 until 1983, one of my favorite cities in Europe.

[@stefco7359]

So beautiful place!

[@DeanaandPhil]

Very nice!!

I lived in Wiesbaden for over 6 years back in the 80's and early 90's. There used to be a great Mexican food restaurant fairly close to the Biebriech castle. My favorite restaurant was an Italian place called Scheffelstubens, on Sheffelstrasse not far from the Baunhauf. Anyway, hope you folks ended up choosing Weisbaden. I miss it terribly and loved seeing old familiar sites in your video. Thanks for posting it.

8:10 Marktkirche, Rathaus, Landtag. All in one shot. Nice. So for those non-German viewers: Market Church, Council House, State Parliament. Wiesbaden is Hesse's captal city, not Frankfurt. Right after the war many cities tried to become the new capital city of western Germany. Frankfurt spent all of its money and influence on trying for that position. Wiesbaden on the other hand simply offered their position as Hessen's capital, not as Germany's capital. So when Bonn became the new capital, Frankfurt was massively pissed off that it neither was the German, nor even Hessen's capital. My grandparents on my father's side, as well as both my parents lived in Wiesbaden for quite some time. I remember quite a lot about the city from my many visits to my grandparents there. Neroberg definitely is one of the more wealthy areas to look for an apartment. So don't expect lower rents there. Wiesbaden, the same as Mainz, was once an ancient Roman fortification that eveolved into a city later. The Romans really appreciated the many hot springs and built their pubic baths around them. Biebricher Schloßpark: very nice park. Each year there is the Pfingstturnier with horses there. The tall trees in the park have been colonized by the descendants of a pair of escaped canary birds. They have demonstrated a remarkable resistance to some of the cold winters. So currently there are several hundred canaries flying wild in the park and surroundings. At one end of the park is the Wasserschloß, at the other end the Biebricher Schloß (at 15:01 to 15:50). Very nice little stroll, right down to the Rhine River.

Great Video! :)

My wife and I lived in Wiesbaden for 3 years from 2016 to 2019. This video really makes us miss it.

Elvis lived in Wiesbaden when he was stationed there in the U.S. Army with the 3rd Armored Division ! Wiesbaden is where he met Priscilla for the first time .

[@timothyleary5234]

i live in Wiesbaden and im sorry to tell you this is not true. Elvis was stationed in Friedberg and lived in Bad Nauheim where he met her.

[@FMWIESB]

No

[@dagmarkiontke]

Elvis didn't live in Wiesbaden. But he met his wife in Wiesbaden. Some years ago Priscilla told on german TV that she walked through the Kurpark with Elvis.

​@@timothyleary5234 Before then, he was stationed at the Wiesbaden-Biebrich Kaserne. Does not exist anymore, I do remember US soldiers being present until the seventies.

As a German working in Wiesbaden I can say that it's true that it is a beautiful city with a great amount of cultural and historical places. But for me it's the people who often make it not the nicest city around. They tend to either be arrogant or even rude at some points. If you cross the river Rhine and go to Mainz, it's a whole different vibe in my eyes. Yet I totally agree with most of the points you made, that's just my very personal experience.

[@RayyMusik]

Confirmed. I lived in Wiesbaden for 29 years. While the city itself is more beautiful than Mainz, many people are ‘schickimicki‘ (fancy-schmancy) or just very old, while the Mainz population is more down to earth and younger due to many students.

[@Fabibaden87]

I live in Wiesbaden and your words describe exactly my thoughts. It's the people in a town that makes it nice or not. I even think about moving to Mainz now as it is much more relaxed there...

[@thirdefying]

One word to describe this is majestic!

[@ateyanvlogs]

Thank you for this nice video. This will be added to my list next time I visit Germany :)

[@enid9911]

I hope you will come back someday and film the west side of the city which is the Nordfriedhof (beautiful), the Dürer-Anlage, Klarenthal, a weird church building called Mariä Heimsuchung, the valley town Dotzheim and it's forestpark and the very long street called Dotzheimer street which has tons of unique stores. I would love to see you present it one day. Maybe when you visit another city in the Hessen area, you can make a short stop at Wiesbaden again? I loved the video here and you did a great job of showing the city I was born in. Thanks.

[@charlotte9926]

Oh you made e really miss Germany! i lived at Rhein-Main AB for 6 years. You're right to let a good doner be a deciding factor!

[@cjh6678]

I've been itching to move back to Germany for about 12 years since I left. Wiesbaden is one of my favorite cities and I finally got a job offer with the base out there!!!! So excited to get back!

[@deusvult7211]

Whoa! I did not expect this! I actually live there! It’s nice that I saw this in my recommendations

[@anotherdimension4338]

Very nice!
