Experience Mainz as a living time travel from the Romans via Chagall to Wine

On April 3, 2027, this special city tour combines almost 2,000 years of Mainz history with art, architecture, and the wine culture of Rheinhessen. The walk begins at the Roman Theater station and leads from the traces of the Roman Mogontiacum over Kästrich and the Citadel to the glowing Chagall windows in St. Stephan.

On the traces of the Roman Mogontiacum

The discovery experience starts right at the Roman Theater, where the ancient history of the city is particularly impressively visible. Below the excavation site, participants gain insights into Mainz as an important center of the Roman era. The path then leads up to Kästrich, the oldest settlement hill of the city and a significant origin of Mainz's wine, sparkling wine, and brewing tradition.

Citadel, City History, and Cultural Heritage

During the walk, the guide connects historical contexts with special city images. In the Citadel, Roman past and baroque fortress culture meet. Walls, paths, and squares tell of the strategic importance of the city and make local history immediately tangible.

Chagall Windows in St. Stephan

A highlight of the city tour awaits the group in St. Stephan. The famous blue Chagall windows bathe the interior in an extraordinary light and set a modern, poetic accent within the historical Mainz cityscape. Here, it becomes clear how closely architecture, sacred heritage, and contemporary art are intertwined in Mainz.

Enjoying Wine at the End

After the historical round trip, the tour concludes in a delightful manner. A glass of Rheinhessen wine creates the connection to the wine tradition of the region and allows the impressions of the day to linger in a relaxed atmosphere. The combination of city tour, art appreciation, and wine experience makes this tour a cultural enrichment for Mainz visitors and locals.
