Wiesbaden Gestapo HQ

Between 1940 and 1945, Wiesbaden’s Gestapo had its headquarter at Lindenstrasse 27 in Frankfurt Westend-Süd. The headquarters was in a luxurious villa built at the turn of the last century and belonged to an evangelical foundation until 1940 when the villa was forcibly purchased by the Gestapo. Unlike many other Gestapo headquarters in Germany (and occupied Europe), there was no prison in the villa’s basement, but the prison was on Klapperfeldstrasse about one kilometer from headquarters.
