The Events Office in the Public Order Office is the central coordination office for the approval of public events. Once an application has been submitted, it is coordinated from here with all the necessary specialist authorities as well as with the Wiesbaden Police Department and the relevant police stations.

In accordance with Section 6 of the Hessian Catering Act, all public events at which food and/or drinks are offered are subject to notification. In addition, trade fairs, exhibitions, markets and public festivals within the meaning of the Industrial Code also require a permit. Private events (e.g. marriage proposals, weddings and birthdays) and events at which no food and/or drinks are offered are not subject to notification.

Further information on the various event categories and the application and approval process can be found in the links and downloads below.

With the introduction of the Online Access Act, the authorities are required to make their services available online. The link below will take you to the application portal of the Events Office. There, as an applicant, you have the option of uploading the required documents in PDF format directly with the notification of your event. With immediate effect, we ask you to submit your applications exclusively via the application portal. We recommend that you open the link via Firefox.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Events Office team.
