About

Kulturpark Wiesbaden is a dynamic urban green space near the main train station, blending recreation, creativity, and remembrance on the grounds of the former municipal slaughterhouse. Since 2009, the area has been transformed into a 5-hectare cultural and leisure park, offering open lawns, tree-lined paths, and diverse activity zones. It features a skate park, beach volleyball courts, calisthenics equipment, and legal graffiti walls, making it especially popular with youth and families. The park also serves as an important ecological corridor, improving air circulation in the city center. Adjacent to the Schlachthof cultural center, Kulturpark hosts concerts, festivals, and community events, including the annual “Kultur im Park” program with over 80 events. A memorial within the park honors the deported Jewish citizens of Wiesbaden, adding a layer of historical reflection. Kulturpark stands as a model of sustainable urban development, where culture, memory, and leisure coexist in a vibrant public space.
