About Biebrich

Biebrich ist mit über 36.000 Einwohnern der größte Vorort der hessischen Landeshauptstadt Wiesbaden. Die Stadt am Rhein wurde am 1. Oktober 1926 nach Wiesbaden eingemeindet und war bis dahin selbständig. Bis zum Bau des Wiesbadener Stadtschlosses 1841 war Biebrich die Residenz der Herzöge von Nassau. Erstmalig erwähnt wurde Biebrich 874 als "Villa Biburc". Bis ins 20. Jahrhundert war es eine Kleinstadt und die Sommerresidenz der Fürsten und (seit 1806) Herzöge von Nassau. Diese erbauten ein Barock-Schloss (1700-1744, Architekten: Maximilian von Welsch und Friedrich Joachim Stengel). Es steht direkt am Rheinufer.

Biebrich is a borough of the city Wiesbaden, Hesse, Germany, located in the Rhine-Main-Area near Frankfurt, opposite of Mombach. Biebrich was an independent city until it was incorporated into Wiesbaden in 1926.
Biebrich was first mentioned in 874 as villa biburc. Until the 20th century Biebrich was a small town (or rather village) and the Summer Residence of the Princes (Fürsten) and (since 1806) Dukes of Nassau, who built up an imposing baroque castle (1700–1744, Architects: Maximilian von Welsch / Friedrich Joachim Stengel) with a landscape garden (Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell, 1817–23) at the banks of River Rhine.
In the 19th century, Biebrich became an important industrial center of the Rhine-Main-Area with the plants of Dyckerhoff (Concrete), Kalle and Albert (Chemistry), and Henkell (sparkling wine = Sekt). In the economical crisis of the post-world-war-I-Era, the small town, struck hard by unemployment of the majority of his working-class residents, merged with the bigger and much wealthier nearby spa city of Wiesbaden. Today, Biebrich is the biggest suburb of Wiesbaden with about 35.000 inhabitants.
