The historic pentagon is the historic core of the Hessian state capital of Wiesbaden. It is bordered to the south by Rheinstrasse, to the west by Schwalbacher Strasse, to the north by Röderstrasse and Taunusstrasse and to the east by Wilhelmstrasse. These streets form a pentagon that encloses Wiesbaden's old town and the Bergkirchen district. Development outside this street was only begun in the second half of the 19th century. Since this time, the area has been called the historic pentagon.

Today, five districts with different uses and atmospheres can be identified in the historic pentagon with corresponding keywords.

"Around the Wilhelmstrasse"

The Rue, the Kurhaus, the theater, high-end retail outlets with a high level of retail trade as well as tourist and artistic areas, but also four partially underused passages with passageways and connections.

"Pedestrian zone"

Chain stores, owner-managed retail and cultural properties, such as the Walhalla Theater, but also vacancies with and without a concept or investors.

"Old town and Luisenstraße"

The market and many festivals, the town hall and castle, gastronomic hotspots in Goldgasse and Mauergasse, but also large squares, undefined places and also a hinge to the neighboring districts in the south.

"Taunusstrasse"

Bars, manufactories, antiques, cultural and creative industries, but also gentrification and conflicts of use.

"Bergkirchenviertel"

Former working-class district, stability and neighborhood, but also "Arrival City", anonymity and "blind" first floor zones.
