The beautiful church of the Russian Orthodox community. From here you also have a view of Wiesbaden. The history of the community is told on information boards on the wall of the nearby cemetery. Very informative! The path uphill leads via the Opelbad to the Nerobergpark.

The Russian Orthodox Church on the Neroberg is the only Russian Orthodox church in Wiesbaden. Its full name is the Russian Orthodox Church of St. Elizabeth. The name Greek Chapel is also often used because in the 19th century Orthodox churches were referred to as "Greek churches". To the northeast of the Russian Church is the former caretaker's house, which is now used as a rectory, and a Russian Orthodox cemetery, which is one of the largest in Western Europe. The Russian Orthodox Church and its congregation belong to the Diocese of Germany of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad.
It was built between 1847 and 1855 by Duke Adolf of Nassau on the occasion of the early death of his wife, the 18-year-old Russian Princess Yelisaveta Mikhailovna, Grand Duchess of Russia and Duchess of Nassau (1826–1845). She was the daughter of Michael Romanov (1798-1849), the younger brother of Tsar Alexander I.
Adolf had married the princess in 1844, but when she died the following year during the birth of their first child, along with the child, he was so filled with grief that he decided to build this church of the Holy Sepulchre. With the blessing of Tsar Nicholas I, he took the money from his deceased wife's dowry.
