The holdings of the Wiesbaden City Archive can be searched online via the archive information system "Arcinsys Hessen". Please use the online search engine "Faust" to search the service library. You can search these search engines as well as "Arcinsys" by keyword and in the form of a systematic search via the tectonics. Orders can also be placed directly via "Arcinsys". If you do not find any or only insufficient results for your search query, please contact the specialist archivist responsible. The easiest way to do this is to send an e-mail to stadtarchivwiesbadende.

The more precisely you describe your query and any existing information, the better we will be able to help you in your search for archive material and publications. Please also find out in advance about any applicable protection periods and special terms of use. Simple information is free of charge for users, as is the use of archive materials in the reading room. This includes, in particular, all information about the archive material stored at the Wiesbaden City Archive. In the case of inquiries that require the inspection of archive material ("commissioned research"), fees are charged, the amount of which can be found in the appendix to the user regulations for the Wiesbaden City Archive.

In order to be able to offer you the best possible service, please make an appointment before your visit at lesesaal.stadtarchivwiesbadende or by telephone on 0611 / 31-4385 and let us know the shelfmarks of the archives you would like to view.
