Preamble: A city where everyone belongs

Wiesbaden is a city of diversity – and that is a good thing. People with different biographies, backgrounds and life plans live together here.

We Greens are committed to a Wiesbaden where diversity is recognised and lived as a strength – where people can live independently, safely and freely, regardless of income, origin, religion, gender, age, sexual identity or disability.

We stand for a policy that takes into account all the people of society with their different realities and needs and strengthens civil society participation in the design of our city.

Our goal is a solidary, open and inclusive urban society and a city that not only respects diversity, but consciously incorporates it into its decisions and takes action against all forms of discrimination. A city where cohesion grows and participation is a matter of course – for all who live here.

This requires a policy that:

  • Creates social justice through greater equity in education, accessibility to leisure, culture and mobility opportunities, and targeted support for children, young people and families, as well as senior citizens.
  • provides protection against discrimination, racism, anti-Semitism, queerism, hatred of women and all forms of group-based misogyny, violence and homelessness.
  • Breaking down barriers – whether physical, digital or social, so that all people can live in a self-determined way.
  • Strengthening cohesion – through a vibrant civil society, democratic participation and a culture of togetherness.

This chapter shows how we want to make Wiesbaden a city where freedom, security and self-determination become a reality for all. Because a city where everyone belongs is not a utopia – it is feasible.

We make more possible. For Wiesbaden. With your vote.
