In the "place of diversity" Biebrich, the museum presents an eventful history: for a hundred years, the former fishing and farming village was a residential town, after which it became an important industrial location. The main themes are correspondingly diverse: The noble Nassau dynasty, traditional trades and modern industrial companies. You can even find very early inhabitants of the Biebrich area here: a 20 million year old mudflat snail, along with other fossils from the Mosbach sands.

In addition to the exhibition, the museum offers visitors an extensive specialist library of local history literature as well as a document and picture archive.

Originally founded in 1909, the museum is now housed in the former town baths. In addition to the permanent collection, the 350 square meter museum also regularly presents special exhibitions on changing themes

The VVB has been committed to the well-being of the citizens of Biebrich for more than 150 years. Industrialists such as Gustav Dyckerhoff, Dr. Wilhelm Kalle and Eugen Albert, together with other personalities, founded the association in 1870 to promote the culture and development of the then independent town.

As the sponsor of the Museum of Local and Industrial History, the association makes it possible to explore the history of our district of Wiesbaden. The VVB erects and restores monuments to beautify Biebrich, including the fountain in the palace park and the Galatea fountain. But the present is also close to its heart: locals and tourists benefit from the redesign of the banks of the Rhine and cultural events such as concerts in the palace or lectures. Chronicles and the "Biebricher Geschichtsblätter" (Biebrich history sheets) present historical events and personalities that are memorable for Biebrich and Mosbach.

In addition, the VVB organizes monthly public tours of Biebrich Palace as well as individually arranged group tours of the palace and palace park

In the various sections of the museum, the traditional trades of the region - linen weaving, pottery and agriculture - and their tools are presented. In addition, an old farmhouse parlor from 1850, a kitchen from around the same year and a teacher's room show what living conditions were like back then. The doors of the Bierstadt local history museum are also regularly opened for special exhibitions.

The Delkenheim local history museum is located on the first floor of the fire station. An old kitchen, a living room and a classroom from the old elementary school are on display here. Old agricultural equipment is also on display in the basement. A special feature of the museum is its collection of traditional Hungarian costumes. Many ethnic German refugees from Hungary settled in Delkenheim after the Second World War and found a new home here.

The Dotzheim Museum was opened in 1985 and has been continuously expanded ever since. Today it comprises 25 subject areas. The permanent exhibition focuses on the development of Dotzheim from the end of the 19th century to its incorporation in 1928. The museum presents three to four special exhibitions each year, which are regularly accompanied by booklets.

The "Museum Castellum" displays exhibits from Roman times, the Renaissance, Baroque and modern times.

The association "Gesellschaft für Heimatgeschichte Kastel e.V." has set itself the goal of preserving the 2000-year history of Kastel for the present, but also for future generations, and making it more transparent. As early as 1984, a "Historical Kastel Room" was opened in the Reduit. As more and more archaeological finds were collected from Kastel soil, the room was soon no longer sufficient and the course was set for the "Museum Castellum". With the support of the two state capitals of Mainz and Wiesbaden and many companies and citizens, the museum was inaugurated in the old walls of the Reduit on May 19, 1990, on the occasion of Kastel's 2000th anniversary, with over 1,200 guests. Today, the association presents a wide range of exhibits on the premises of the Reduit, from uniforms and replicas in the form of models to historical objects such as militaria and everyday items. The Castellum Museum is open from March to November on Sundays from 10.30 am to 12.30 pm. Admission is free.

In addition to the "Museum Castellum", the "Gesellschaft für Heimatgeschichte Kastel" (Society for Local History Kastel) runs other facilities in which the over 2000-year history of Kastel is presented.

The Kloppenheim local history museum is located in a former barn, the "Heimatscheune". Pictures and objects from the past are documented and exhibited in the building, which has been restored by the Kloppenheim local history association. The "Heimatscheune" also hosts wedding ceremonies in a historical setting.

The Kostheim Local History Museum exclusively displays exhibits from the Kostheim district. The museum focuses on finds from Celtic and Roman times, the local associations, the raftsmen and the traces left behind by historical personalities in Kostheim.

The Medenbach local history museum is located on the upper floor and attic of the former elementary school building at Neufeldstraße 9.

On the way to the top floor, the old church clock from 1932 and large-format photos from times gone by are impressive.

An old shoemaker's workshop with all its original components has been preserved as the village shoemaker worked in the middle of the last century and in the following decades. An old smithy and a wainwright's workshop can be admired in the shed on the former schoolyard.

In addition to special exhibitions that change every six months, visitors will find an extensive collection of pictures from Medenbach's history with many black and white photos of buildings and streets, of people at work and celebrating, of the school, the church, of young and old.

Insights into village life at the beginning and in the middle of the last century are provided by a variety of objects arranged thematically: Dairy farming, home slaughtering, washing, storage and cider. A cupboard with well-kept laundry and another with preserved provisions round off the themes.

After the former school hall on the first floor was taken over by the museum a few years ago, the exhibition possibilities have been greatly expanded:

The post office displays an old post office with parcel scales, sorting locker, various postal uniforms and more.
The village school gives an impression of what it used to look like in the one-class school with teacher's desk, pupils' benches, blackboard, etc. The kitchen with stove, sandstone sink, cupboard, table and appliances is a kitchen from around 1930. The children's room with crib, rocking horse and doll's pram was not so well equipped in many families at that time. Important archaeological finds from the Stone Age and Roman times are on display.

The historic restaurant (around 1920) is a special highlight. From time to time, a morning pint is held here from 11 am to 1 pm on Sundays when the museum is open.

The museum shows a cross-section of village life in Naurod. This includes the historical and ecclesiastical development, a collection of agricultural equipment, tools used in rural crafts and household items. Among other things, club life is depicted with club flags. A special feature of the museum is the exhibition of the estate of the Nauroder Heimat poet Rudolf Dietz. This year, visitors can look forward to an additional special exhibition entitled "Naurod in old pictures part 2".

The Nordenstadt Local History Museum is housed in a former Franconian farmhouse and was extended in May 2000 to include the old fire station. In addition to the local history exhibition, the museum places particular emphasis on special exhibitions that change every six months and attract numerous visitors. In the local history museum, you can tie the knot in the club room. Every year, around 70 bridal couples take advantage of the opportunity to get married in a historical setting.

In the permanent exhibition, the museum displays exhibits on the history of Schierstein as well as pictures of the old town center and photographs of the "old" trades of fishermen, raftsmen, boatmen and winegrowers. The museum also offers special exhibitions on a wide range of topics.

The museum in the Sonnenberg district was reopened as part of the 2012 Culture Days and presents a wealth of information about the history of the castle.

After being closed for years, the keep of Sonnenberg Castle was reopened to the public as part of the Sonnenberg Culture Days. On June 23, 2012, Rose-Lore Scholz, head of the cultural department, together with the Sonnenberg local council, presented a presentation on the history of Sonnenberg Castle, which was conceived and realized by the Heimatverein Sonnenberg e. V. and the Kulturamt-Stadtmuseum.

The castle, built in the early 13th century, has a long and eventful history, which is presented in texts and objects on three levels of the tower.
