In addition, the "Aufbau-Auschuss Wiesbaden, Vertretung der antinationalsozialistischen Kräfte" (Wiesbaden Reconstruction Committee, Representation of Anti-National Socialist Forces), which emerged from a non-partisan resistance group around Heinrich Roos, was set up and on November 22 was transformed into the "Bürgerrat Wiesbaden" (Wiesbaden Citizens' Council); both were grassroots democratic forerunners of the future city government, which was constituted after the first local elections on May 26, 1946.

The CDU, SPD and KPD, like the Demokratische Einheitsgewerkschaft (Democratic Union), had been admitted on September 28, 1945, the Liberal Democratic Party at the end of December, and the Bürger- und Bauernpartei (Citizens' and Farmers' Party) a little later. On July 25, 1946, the Christian Democrat Hans Heinrich Redlhammer was elected Lord Mayor, supported by a magistrate with equal representation from the CDU and SPD.
