History

The Hessian Ministry for Science and Art was established on 4 July 1984 as a spin-off of the Hessian Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Education was then responsible for school and part of the church affairs.

Since 1987, the Hessian Ministry for Science and Art has been located in a rented, Gründerzeit office building between the Rheinstraße and Luisenstraße in Wiesbaden, which was used until 1975 as the Wiesbaden main post-office and was then rebuilt and renovated accordingly.

It awards the Goethe-Plakette des Landes Hessen.
