5 Main(z) Reasons

Here are 5 reasons why Mainz is the perfect study location for you:

  1. Mainz Feeling: The people of Mainz share a special way of life characterized by warmth, openness, and sociability, creating a sense of belonging and making all visitors and newcomers feel at home - the "Mainz feeling."
     
  2. Vibrant Community: Mainz, as a student city, offers a wide range of cultural events and institutions, including theater performances, concerts, festivals, and numerous museums. The General Student Committee (AStA) at the university also organizes its own events and celebrations for students in Mainz. Whether it's enjoying the wine taverns and market breakfast in the summer or participating in the Mainz Carnival with its Rose Monday parade in the winter, there is plenty to experience.
     
  3. Thriving Rhein-Main Metropolitan Region: Mainz benefits from its convenient location and excellent transportation connections to other German and European cities. With your semester ticket, you can easily and comfortably travel to places like Wiesbaden, Darmstadt, downtown Frankfurt, or even Frankfurt Airport, the largest airport in Germany. Moreover, the Rhein-Main region is one of the most important economic centers in Germany, offering numerous exciting career opportunities across all sectors.
     
  4. Picturesque Mainz: Situated on the banks of the Rhine River, Mainz is not only the wine capital of Germany but also captivates visitors with its abundant opportunities for outdoor activities and excursions, extending beyond the city limits. Take a leisurely stroll along the Rhine promenade in the summer, ending the day with an impressive sunset and a glass of local wine, or explore the most popular stages of the Rheinsteig hiking trail, enjoying breathtaking views of the Rhine Valley.
     
  5. Media City Mainz: As the capital of Rhineland-Palatinate, Mainz is a city rich in history. It is the birthplace of modern printing, revolutionized by Johannes Gutenberg. The Gutenberg Bible from the 15th century can be admired here in its original form. Take a leisurely walk through the picturesque, cobblestone-paved old town to soak in the beauty of the half-timbered houses, or explore the Roman city wall and the ancient theater. Above all, the over 1000-year-old Mainz Cathedral is always worth a visit.

Enjoy your time in Mainz and make the most of these wonderful experiences and opportunities.
