Discovering Mainz

Mainz has no shortage of self-confidence, or of enthusiasm. It has good reason for this., i. e. that tradition and progress show no signs of flagrant contradictions can be seen and clearly revealed in daily life. After a 2 000 year history, Mainz has remained young. Where once Romans, the Emperor Barbarossa, the Bible printer Gutenberg or acknowledged Electors made their mark, now people and economics have made this Rhine metropolis their picturesque home.

Its name alone places Mainz within the pulsating Rhine-Main Mecca. The modern Mainz represents sociability and tolerance to the world, which are reflected in the celebrations, which take place on Throve Tuesday, according to custom and tradition. And at the same time it has become a central and vital economic centre. Last but not least, Mainz is a city of media - taken in by German TV 2, which promises to make its home town world famous in its daily broadcast.
