New Police Station on Petersweg: City and State Approve Purchase
Wiesbaden has secured a 24.5-hectare site in the Petersweg-Ost industrial zone for a new central police headquarters. The €52 million purchase will bring together three key Hessian police agencies currently spread across the city. Authorities say the move will improve coordination and streamline operations over the coming decade.
The land deal, finalised by city and state officials, paves the way for a major consolidation project. Currently, the Hessian Police Presidency for Technology, the Hessian Police Presidency for Operations, and the University of Public Administration and Security operate from separate locations. The new hub will house all three under one roof.
Planning and early construction are set to begin between 2025 and 2028, though full completion will stretch into the 2030s. The phased approach ensures minimal disruption while allowing for detailed site development. Officials have stressed that the centralised facility will cut costs, reduce resource waste, and strengthen cooperation between agencies. The purchase follows a similar move by Hamburg, which acquired land in Petersweg for its own police headquarters. Wiesbaden’s project, however, focuses on long-term efficiency gains rather than rapid construction. The site’s size and location were chosen to support future expansion and modern policing needs.
The €52 million investment marks the first step toward a more integrated police infrastructure in Wiesbaden. Once complete, the facility will centralise training, technology, and operational units in a single location. Construction timelines and further planning details are expected to be announced in the coming months.
