The Hessian Ministry of Higher Education, Research and the Arts 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.^{[clarification needed]}

Since 1987, the Hessian Ministry of Higher Education, Research and the Arts 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.
