Over the years, numerous personalities from the fields of politics, the military, science, business and technology, sport and culture and others from Germany and abroad have been ceremoniously received and welcomed in the ballroom of the town hall. Numerous entries were made by prominent guests in the Golden Book, which once again bears witness to the honorable visits from all parts of the world that Wiesbaden has enjoyed since 1945.

Since December 1, 2012, citizens of the city of Wiesbaden have had the opportunity to leaf through the Golden Book of the state capital digitally. And since April 2023, a current edition of the Golden Book is now available in digital form.
