  3. Demnach gilt der in Wiesbaden-Biebrich entstandene Stummfilm Das Schloss des Schreckens
    (1919) vom deutschen Filmpionier Georg Dengel als
    Ursprung von Wiesbadens Geschichte als Filmstadt. Die Leitung führte rund sechs Kilometer weit von dem Walddistrikt Kisselborn, der in 420 Meter Höhe direkt unterhalb des wenige Jahre
    später errichteten Jagdschlosses Platte liegt, in die Innenstadt.
    Im Jahr 1918 wurde sie von der französischen Armee
    besetzt, und 1921 wurde das Wiesbadener Abkommen über die deutschen Reparationszahlungen an Frankreich geschlossen.In dieser Zeit wurde Wiesbaden Patenstadt für
    den Wiederaufbau von Eydtkuhnen (Ostpreußen). Wenngleich Wiesbaden den Status als Residenzstadt verloren hatte,
    wurde die Stadt als Kurbad, Kongressstadt und Verwaltungssitz
    weiter ausgebaut und erlebte einen großen Aufschwung.

    Jahrhundert, eingeleitet durch die Erhebung zur herzoglich-nassauischen Residenzstadt,
    etwa alle 20 Jahre verdoppelte. An die Deportationen erinnern das
    Mahnmal Schlachthoframpe und die Gedenkstätte Nordenstadt.Schon im Dezember 1946 wurde eine neue Gemeinde gegründet,
    die das Grundstück der Altisraelitischen Gemeinde nutzen konnte.
    Das Dekanat gehört zur Propstei Rhein-Main, Propst Oliver Albrecht hat seinen Dienstsitz in Wiesbaden.
    Es handelt sich um keine der üblichen Eingemeindungen, da Wiesbaden in diesen Stadtteilen nicht einfach die Rechtsnachfolge der Landeshauptstadt Mainz angetreten hat.
    Durch den Niedergang des Großbürgertums in den Nachkriegsjahrzehnten verlor Wiesbaden sein mondänes Flair und unterscheidet sich heute gesellschaftlich
    kaum mehr von anderen Städten. Nachdem sich das ZDF 1961 für Mainz als Hauptsitz entschieden hatte, dort aber noch
    Räumlichkeiten fehlten, wurde Wiesbaden provisorischer Verwaltungssitz des neuen Fernsehsenders.

    Bemerkenswert ist, dass sich in der Kernstadt Wiesbaden so gut wie keine Industrie- oder ausgedehnte Gewerbegebiete befinden. Weiter weg von der Innenstadt wird das Bild der Altbauten mehr und mehr durch Häuser der Nachkriegszeit
    verdrängt, die im Rahmen der Stadterweiterung entstanden sind.
    Im Jahr 2012 schließlich bewarb sich Wiesbaden um den UNESCO-Welterbe-Titel als „Weltkurstadt“.
