Safe organizing in Wiesbaden

With Wiesbaden - the Hessian state capital with a feel-good factor - you are choosing a particularly safe location for your events.

Safety plays a major role in the planning and implementation of events.

Germany as a whole is one of the safest countries in the world

In the Global Peace Index, which uses various indicators to assess the level of peace in 163 countries around the world, Germany regularly ranks among the best countries. In 2023, the Federal Republic ranked 15th among the top countries.

Germany also identifies strongly with the issues of peace, security and human rights. Organizers and guests on German soil can therefore rely on high security standards and an orderly legal and police system.

Wiesbaden is also considered a social city with high standards regarding issues such as gender equality and inclusion, so that all event guests feel safe at all times while attending events in our city. For example, Wiesbaden was the host city for the Indonesian team during the Special Olympic World Games in Berlin in 2023.

Facts

Wiesbaden is located in the Rhine-Main area in one of Germany's metropolitan regions. Nevertheless, the historic small town with its almost 300,000 inhabitants is more manageable and therefore safer compared to the neighboring Hessian city of Frankfurt am Main.

All event venues, hotels, a multitude of sights, parks and restaurants as well as the main train station are centrally located in the city center and within walking distance of each other. Wiesbaden is not only considered a particularly green city, but also an economic and cultural center, making it one of the most prosperous cities in Germany.

The direct proximity to Frankfurt am Main International Airport - just 30 minutes away by train - makes it particularly easy and convenient for travelers to reach Wiesbaden.

Why the RheinMain CongressCenter in Wiesbaden is predestined as a safe event venue:

  1. The RMCC is located in the center of Wiesbaden. From here, everything is within safe walking distance: The hotels, the main railway station, various parks, the most important sights, a variety of stores and restaurants.
  2. The congress center has its own detailed security concept with special security requirements for major events, which was drawn up in consultation with the authorities responsible for security and order, in particular the police, fire department and rescue services.
  3. As a municipal event venue, the RMCC is characterized by close contact with the authorities. For all events, the cooperation of the public order service, fire safety watch and medical service with the police, fire department and rescue service must be guaranteed.
  4. As a modern, new event venue, the RMCC has the highest security standards. There are numerous exit doors, fire doors and gates in the building that serve as escape routes or air inlets.
    The entire building is equipped with a comprehensive, automatic fire alarm system, which ensures that the Wiesbaden fire department is alerted immediately after a fire is triggered. There is a complete fire department bypass around the building, several possible access points from the outside for the fire department and an easily accessible fire attack point.
    The building is monitored by an automatic extinguishing system in order to contain the fire at an early stage and prevent it from spreading. At the same time, the extinguishing system can be used for fire detection, as the fire alarm system is triggered when the extinguishing system is activated. The extinguishing system consists of a sprinkler system and a deluge extinguishing system.
  5. A comprehensive evacuation concept is in place, which comes into effect in the event of danger during the event, with the aim of ensuring that all persons leave the building via the escape and rescue routes and go to the appropriate assembly points.
  6. The congress center works with specially trained and experienced security partners who have the expertise to protect highly sensitive projects or conference participants.
  7. The RMCC and the historic Kurhaus have a long history of hosting receptions, meetings and events for government, police, armed forces and investigative agencies. In addition, the RMCC was home to Wiesbaden's vaccination center during the Corona peak phase - during this time, the team was in regular close contact with various authorities.
