The mediaeval cemetery »Judensand« on Mombacher Strasse has largely been preserved. However, expulsions of the Jews repeatedly led to evictions and remodeling of the "Eternal Place" and thus to serious losses of gravestones. Since the 1860s, important Jewish gravestones have repeatedly come to light during construction work in Mainz. Outstanding gravestones were combined in 1926 by the rabbis Levi and Salfeld to form a memorial cemetery in order to make the heritage visible from afar and to underline our own location in Magenza…
In oversized glory, it stands on the square that bears his name: The Danish sculptor Berthel Thorvaldsen provided the design for the bronze statue of Johannes Gutenberg. The monument, completely renovated in 2010, depicts the inventor of printing, of whom no contemporary portrait exists, in an idealized representation: bearded, elegantly dressed, with a Bible and typeset in hand. The inauguration of the monument in 1837 was celebrated by the residents of Mainz with a three-day festival. Even today, there is lively activity around the…

We, Anna and Stefan Raddeck, love wine and we want to share this passion with you. Since 2003, we have been working in a controlled ecological manner to preserve the excellent quality of our wines for future generations.

This is especially true for our Rieslings from the renowned sites Schloss Schwabsburg, Heiligenbaum, Pettenthal, and Orbel from the Red Slope. Since 2009, the winery has been located in the middle of the…
Next to the semi-circular apse of the Aula regia (throne hall), an archaeological protective structure was built in the year 2000. The walkable steel-glass construction conserves the extraordinarily well-preserved remains of a Staufer heating system from the 12th century. Due to its shape, size, and condition, it is a unique testimony to the history of high medieval technology. Detailed information about this heating system is provided on information panels at and within the protective structure. The key to the protective structure can be…
