Photos of Mainz!!!

Here is a random selection of pictures taken throughout Mainz. Enjoy : )

This is our front door!

Alte Universitatsstrasse 19

This is the front of the building where we live. The Institute for European History.


The beautiful Theatre we hope to see something at this year. It is right next door to our building.

The big Dom (Catherdral) right out our front window.

A Denkmal (momnument) behind the Theatre.

One of many fountains in Mainz. Just in front of our building. We really have a prime location, the center of the Altstadt (Old city) which is just like a down town area of a city in the states. We have a mall and tons of little shops everywhere and lots of cafe's and bars and restaurants.

Statue of St. Bonifacious. In the main square next to the Dom. Rumor has it this is where he was killed.

The Marktplatz (main square). Big Denkmal in the center. Beautiful buildings and shops around the square.

Denkmal in the Marktplatz.

The side of the Dom with the little shops built onto the side.

Some Denkmals and the Dom in the background. Behind this is where you go down the stairs to the river bank.

Fountain and Denkmals near the River Rhein along our running path.

The view accross the Rhein. It is actually another city called Wiesbaden, the capital of the neighboring state of Hessen. That boat on shore actually never moves; it's a restaurant!

View of Mainz from standing on the Brucke (bridge). The white building on the right side is the Mainz Hilton.

View from the other side of the Brucke.

View looking up the Rhein.

Some important building at the end of the Brucke. Not really sure...

The end of the Brucke with the Mainz and German flags.

Beautiful Denkmal by the Rhein.

Path along the Rhein we like to run on.

The Brucke!

Entering the Rhein banks from the main street.

Back of the supossed important building.

St. Peter's Kirche (church). Not to be confused with Kirsche (cherry).

The Mainz Museum.

Denkmal in town.

This is a cigarette vending machine. They are all over outside on the streets. Anyone (any age) can access them...?

Denkmal of Schiller. One of the most famous playwrites from Germany!

A wein (wine) stand. Love these. You can just go up any time of day, get a glass of wine and some bread or sausage and stand around the tall tables near the booth. They are everywhere and are always crowded.

A fountain in the Altstadt (Old city).

A denkmal outside the park.

The Dom. Of course under construction...I guess it's understandable considering it is over 1000 YEARS OLD!!!!

DAS IST ALLES

That's all...
