From farming village to modern municipality

In the 1960s and 70s, Delkenheim underwent a decisive change: new residential areas were built, which had a lasting impact on the townscape and increasingly displaced the previously dominant agricultural structure. With the incorporation into Wiesbaden in 1977, Delkenheim finally became part of the Hessian state capital. To this day, the Wickerbach divides the district into two distinctive areas: the historic town center and the "Siedlung", which was created in the 1970s as a sign of modernization.
