Mainz's historical heritage
Many cities in Germany have impressive histories, rich in achievement. Large and small all have had a hey-day. However, Mainz’s cultural-historical heritage is unique. Not only is it 2,000 years old, but it is continuous in every age and epoch, directly in the forefront of developments from the day Founder General Drusus first got off the boat. From antiquity until today Mainz has actively impressed its nature on events, reflecting and determining the spirit of the ages. A treasure-trove of art, artifacts, and objects recalls Mainz’s people and the lives they led awaits you in our many museums.
