Rheingau district
The Rheingauviertel offers the right mix. Close to the city center, directly adjacent to the historic pentagon, the Rheingauviertel / Hollerborn district is interlinked with the center.
Wilhelminian-style facades and plenty of greenery along the streets characterize the Rheingau district as well as the adjacent Dichterviertel district to the southwest of the quarter. An idyllic residential area that has its outdoor living room on Wallufer Platz: While the local children romp around the playground here, the adults have a chat on the square or at the tables of the narrow Wakker (Wallufer Platz 3, wakker-wiesbaden.de), which is a café by day and a bar by night. Another institution in the district is Café Klatsch (Marcobrunnerstraße 9, cafeklatsch-wiesbaden.de): Founded by a collective in the 1980s, it is now popular not only for its still left-wing charm, but also for its unique breakfast buffet on Sundays.
Just around the corner are Glyg (Marcobrunnerstraße 2, glyg.de) and Weinländer (Rüdesheimer Straße 21, der-weinlaender.de), two stores selling delicacies and wines, especially from the nearby Rheingau region, of course. However, the reason for the name of the district is not these stores - but the fact that all the streets and squares here are named after places in the Rheingau.
History
The history of the Rheingauviertel began at the end of the 19th century, when the first houses were built around the Ringkirche church. Even today, many historic Art Nouveau-style building facades can still be found there, almost completely preserved. But the district is not only popular with architecture enthusiasts. Numerous restaurants and pubs welcome guests and, together with the beautiful avenues and many small green spaces, create a harmonious picture. In addition to many schools and the campus of RheinMain University of Applied Sciences, the Rheingauviertel also offers a wide range of leisure activities as well as numerous small businesses and stores.
Incidentally, the Rheingauviertel got its name because the streets there are named after places in the Rheingau.
