The Wiesbaden Seniors' Advisory Council represents the interests of citizens over the age of 60 vis-à-vis the city council, the administration and the public. It is one of the oldest of its kind. The elections for the first Seniors' Advisory Council in Wiesbaden took place on October 13, 1976. The first chairman of the new body was the former Lord Mayor Georg Buch.

Since 2000, the Seniors' Advisory Council has been elected every four years by the citizens of Wiesbaden over the age of 60 by postal vote. The candidates are nominated by the political parties, churches and social associations. In addition to the 21 elected members of the Seniors' Advisory Council, up to five experts can be nominated as advisory members. The members of the Seniors' Advisory Council act in an advisory capacity in the meetings and committees of the city parliament and in the local councils and organize public events themselves. The Senior Citizens' Advisory Council is assigned to the Mayor's office. The costs of an office, to which the Senior Citizens' Advisory Council is entitled under the statutes, are borne by the municipality.

The senior citizens' magazine "Consens" is published four times a year and the senior citizens' guide "Was-Wer-Wo" is published every two years. Regular events include the public meeting on the first Monday of the month, the Seniors' Week in August/September as well as film screenings as part of the series "Rückblende - Film ab" at the Caligari FilmBühne and museum tours.

The Wiesbaden Seniors' Advisory Council is a member of the Hesse State Seniors' Council and the Academy for Older People.
