Breckenheim - Wiesbaden's green east
Breckenheim, located in the east of Wiesbaden, combines rural charm with a modern infrastructure.
Village charm
Breckenheim is the easternmost district of Wiesbaden and was incorporated on January 1, 1977. The district, which today has a population of around 3,600, has managed to retain its village charm despite large new development areas from the 1970s. As a purely residential community with no major commercial development, Breckenheim offers a high quality of life and excellent transport links.
Natural environment
The surrounding area with its wide fields, meadows and forests, including the largest orchards in Wiesbaden, is ideal for long walks and relaxation. The Pfingstborn area is particularly well-known and is used for picnic events and - in addition to the village square - is a special meeting place for the village community.
Tradition is very important in Breckenheim. The spring of the Pfingstborn has been a sacred place for centuries and the water is still valued today for its health benefits.
Romanesque church
The historic center of Breckenheim is dominated by the Romanesque church, which was first mentioned in 1280. After being destroyed during the Thirty Years' War, it was rebuilt between 1718 and 1724.
Club life and community
Breckenheim offers a lively club life. This active involvement helps to warmly integrate new residents into the village community and strengthen social cohesion.
A highlight in Breckenheim
Breckenheim is famous for its "Brekemer Leckweje", a traditionally produced sweet spread made from pears that is only available here.
From the statistics
It's a good place to live: Over 48 percent of all Breckenheim residents have lived here for 20 years or more.
