Mainz is one of Germany’s oldest cities.
Here you can experience history very closely – from the Romans to
the French Revolution.
Johannes Gutenberg,
the inventor of printing
with movable type, was
at home here, and even
today you can admire
two copies of the
St Martin’s Cathedral
renowned Gutenberg
Bible in Mainz. Or, during your visit, enjoy the many-sided artistic and cultural scene in our city’s theatres and museums. The
famed Chagall windows in St. Stephen’s church alone attract
more than 200,000 visitors from all over the world every year. In
addition, numerous top-class exhibitions, performances, and
also musical highlights await you all year round. The same is true
of the many Mainz festivals and fairs for which the capital of the
state of Rhineland-Palatinate is famous.
Or take pleasure in the open and cheerful
way of life of the
Booking hotline
people of Mainz at
www.mainz-tourismus.com/hotel
the weekly market,
06131–242 – 828/– 888 with its almost
Mediterranean
atmosphere around the mighty Cathedral.
Experience how life pulsates here and in
the crooked narrow streets and alleys of the
old part of the city, just as it already did
Moses, Chagall’s stained glass
in the Middle Ages. Behind Rococo façades window, St. Stephen’s Church
and in burghers’ Baroque houses are hidden charming cafés and boutiques. In the lovingly restored old
part of the city with its many half-timbered houses, wine taverns
invite you to enjoy a glass of wine. Mainz has much to offer.
See for your­self and experience our city. We hope that
this map of the city will be
of assistance to you with all
questions about your visit,
and wish you great pleasure !

Walking tour of historic Mainz
9. Old City – Kirschgarten
Schöfferstrasse leads you into the old part of Mainz. Stroll along
Augustinerstrasse to Kirschgarten with its romantic half-timbered houses and the
Virgin Mary’s Fountain.
By the way, the square
and the lane share the
name “Kirschgarten”
(Cherry Orchard). Only
the stump of a cherry
tree, which you can discover in the baking
house “Zum Beymberg”
(No. 19), still reveals its
origin.
5. Fischergasse – Heilig-Geist – Eisenturm
If you go past the palace “Zum Römischen
Kaiser”, you come to the “Salmengässchen”
gateway leading you into the picturesque
Fischergasse. Straight ahead you will see
the Holy Ghost Hospital (Heilig-GeistSpital). When it was constructed in 1236, it
served as accommodation for pilgrims,
Portrait of Gutenberg by
Aaltonen, Liebfrauenplatz the poor, the old and the sick, Today it
houses a catering establishment with historic flair. Now turn
right, around Heilig Geist, and you will see first the Bridge
Tower (Brückenturm), then the Iron Tower (Eisenturm). The
Tourist Service Center is located upstairs in the Bridge Tower.
The Iron Tower was built around 1240 and was for­­­­­merly part of the city wall.
(approx. 2 hours without visits to museums and churches)
1. Gutenbergplatz – Gutenberg Monument – Theatre
The walking tour begins at Gutenbergplatz that is named after the
city’s most famous son and has been adorned by a bronze statue of
Gutenberg since 1837. Opposite is the Large House of the State
Theatre. It was constructed in 1829–33 by Georg Moller and rebuilt in
1951/52 after its destruction. Today, the historic Moller building is
crowned by a modern glass complex.
2. Höfchen – Marketplace
We continue to Höfchen, the first of the three cathedral squares.
This square bears its name because the residence of the archbishop
of Mainz stood here until the 15th century. Continuing straight
ahead, you come to the Market, the heart of urban life. It is bounded
by the market houses on the left and the cathedral houses on the
right. The Giant’s Pillar (Heunensäule) has stood at the centre of
the Marketplace since the cathedral’s millenary anniversary in 1975.
Kirschgarten with the oldest half-timbered houses
6. City Hall – Rhine Embankment
A lift located opposite the Bridge Tower (City Hall garage) will
take you up to Jockel-Fuchs-Platz. The City Hall (Rathaus),
designed by the Danish architects Arne Jacobsen and Otto
Weitling, was constructed in 1970–73. In front of the City Hall
stands the sculpture “Vitality” by Andreu Alfaro. In the direction of the Rhine is the bronze sculpture “The Hour Striker’s
Key” by Hans Arp. Enjoy the view of “Father Rhine” and the
confluence of the Main from here.
3. St. Martin’s Cathedral
St. Martin’s Cathedral rises up directly by the market. The cathedral
was constructed under Archbishop Willigis from 975 on, and has
experienced fire, destruction and reconstruction many times in the
course of the centuries. Apart from the archbishops’ grave-monuments, the Romanesque St. Gotthard’s Chapel and the late-Gothic
cloister should be especially mentioned. Today, the Episcopal
Cathedral and Diocesan Museum, with works of art from two millennia of Mainz church history, is housed in the chapter buildings
and cloister.
10. St. Stephen’s – Chagall Windows
Now follow Kirschgarten lane towards St. Stephen’s.
Willigisstrasse will lead you up to the Gothic hall church with its
nine famous stained-glass windows by the Jewish artist Marc
Chagall (1887–1985) which he created from 1978 on as a sign of
Jewish-Christian attachment.
Please note that the church can
only be visited during its opening
hours (Mon – Sat 10 a.m. – 12 noon
and 2 – 5 p.m.).
7. Algesheimer Hof – St. Christopher’s Church
The tour now continues past the Rheingoldhalle, the headquarters of Congress Centrum Mainz, back to the other side of
Rheinstrasse. Follow Löhrstrasse, past Hilton Hotel, where the
remains of Roman ships were discovered during construction
works. Follow Hintere Christofsgasse to the Algesheimer Hof
where Gutenberg lived until his death. Straight ahead you will
see the ruin of the early Gothic St. Christopher’s Church. It was
constructed between 1292 and 1325. Destroyed in the second
World War, the church was not rebuilt, but turned into a memorial and shrine of remembrance.
4. Market Fountain – Liebfrauenplatz –
Gutenberg Museum
The unusually embellished Market
Fountain, located at the furthest corner
of the Marketplace, is one of the oldest
and finest Renaissance fountains in
Germany. Continuing straight ahead, you
come to the Nail Pillar that was studded
with nails paid from war donations in the Bright market scenes
war year 1916. Liebfrauenplatz is named
after the Church of Our Lady (Liebfrauenkirche) that used to stand
in front of the eastern apse of the cathedral until its destruction in
1793 and subsequent demolition. On the north side of the square is
the late Renaissance palace “Zum Römischen Kaiser” (“At the sign
of the Roman Emperor”). The palace was constructed in 1653, after
the Thirty Years’ War, as the first and richest town house.. Since
1962, the world-famous Gutenberg Museum has been accommodated in this palace and in an adjoining new annex.

12. Supply Depot –
Carnival Museum
Schillerstrasse will lead you to the Supply Depot (ProviantMagazin). Since 2004, apart from private apartments and the
catering trade, the Mainz Carnival Museum (Mainzer Fastnachts­
museum) has also been housed in the imposing military building
that had previously stood empty for many years. It presents the
visitor with 160 years of history of Mainz Carnival, offering every­
thing that a real carnival fan’s heart desires.
The walking tour of the city ends here. Let it come to a pleasant close and
fortify yourself in the Supply Depot’s catering establishments.

around 38 B.C.Probably the first Roman encampment

Carnival Fountain, Schillerplatz
11. Schillerplatz – Carnival Fountain
– Osteiner Hof – Bassenheimer Hof
Gaustrasse leads you downhill to
Schillerplatz. The Carnival Fountain
(Fastnachtsbrunnen) is of vital
significance for all genuine
“Meenzer”, because the crazy fifth
season, carnival, is proclaimed
here every year on 11.11. The tall
bronze fountain (1967) by Blasius
Spreng is populated by some 200
symbols and fantasy figures from
Mainz carnival. Osteiner Hof, directly opposite the fountain, was constructed in the mid-18th century as
the family palace of Elector Johann
Friedrich Karl von Ostein. Since
1958, the palace has functioned as
the German Federal Army’s garrison headquarters.
8. St. Quintin’s – Old University
Walk through Hintere Christofsgasse and turn left into Schuster­
strasse which you follow to the next crossing. At the corner, enclosed behind the frontage of houses, rises the probably oldest
parish church in the city, St. Quintin’s, that was mentioned already in 815. On the right side of Schöfferstrasse is the Old University,
“Domus Universitatis”. It was constructed in 1615–18 as the
Jesuit College building. Today, Mainz University institutes are
accommodated here.

the interior.
