The collection at the "Museum Storage of the Fortress and Garrison Mainz" showcases uniforms, photos, documents, and memorabilia that vividly illustrate the garrison history of the city. Particularly noteworthy is a detailed model of the Mainz fortress.
All exhibits were acquired and lovingly arranged by Wolfgang Balzer with great effort. The museum is generally accessible to all visitors, although prior registration is required.
During guided tours, Wolfgang Balzer provides an exceptionally educational and entertaining introduction to the history of the Mainz fortress. Subsequently, visitors can explore the exhibition on their own and ask Balzer targeted questions about the objects.
A visit is especially worthwhile for anyone who wants to gain an illustrative insight into the modern military history of Mainz.
