In June 1949, seven women from Wiesbaden founded the Housewives' Association. Interested women should be able to further their education not only in housekeeping, but also in economic and political areas. In addition to cultural activities, the association successfully supported the integration of refugee women after the end of the Second World War, whom it supported in its sewing room.

In the 1950s, the Wiesbadener Hausfrauenbund developed into the largest women's association in the city, with over 300 members in 1954. In 1957, it was able to open the "Haus der Hausfrau" in Herrngartenstraße and also planned to set up a consumer advice center.

On the initiative of the future chairwoman, Erika Hemeling, it organized an industrial exhibition in conjunction with the Wiesbaden retail trade in the Wartburg in 1950. Until 1956, the organization of the annual HAFA trade fair was in the hands of the Wiesbadener Hausfrauenbund (Wiesbaden Housewives' Association), which also held the conceptual sponsorship thereafter. At the beginning of the 1960s, he initiated a two-year training course to become a master housekeeper. In 1968, he founded the "Club of Young Housewives" for younger women.

In 1973, the Wiesbadener Hausfrauenbund moved from Herrngartenstraße to Adelheidstraße and in 1979 it changed its name to "Wiesbadener Hausfrauenbund". At the same time, in 1979, the Hessian state association of the Hausfrauenbund transferred its home economics education tasks to the newly founded "Bildungswerk Hausfrauen-Bund Hessen e.V.", which took over the sponsorship of the home economics vocational training courses and is based in Wiesbaden.

In 2012, the Bildungswerk inaugurated a new training center in Biebrich, where young people with disadvantages can learn domestic professions. In the face of social change, the Wiesbadener Hausfrauenbund saw itself as a representative of all housewives, whether full-time or part-time. In 1985, for example, the 9th International Women's Congress of the Deutscher Hausfrauenbund e.V. took place in the Kurhaus and the Rhein-Main-Hallen, attracting over 2,500 participants. A lack of new members led to the dissolution of the Wiesbaden local group. In 2006, the office of the Wiesbadener Hausfrauenbund in Adelheidstraße closed.
