Nestled right in the heart of Mainz, the state theater is an architectural gem that has been captivating audiences since its construction between 1829 and 1833. At Gutenbergplatz, the theater's grand main house and the stunning glasshouse, perched high under the roof, are perfect spots for an unforgettable cultural experience. Just next door at Tritonplatz, you'll find the charming small house, a more recent addition from 1997. And for those who crave something a bit different, venture underground to the studio stage U17, which has been hosting shows since 2014.
Mainz is not just a city of theaters. It's a place with a rich history, famous for its Gutenberg Museum, which celebrates the legacy of Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the movable-type printing press. This city is a delightful blend of the old and the new, offering visitors a chance to explore its vibrant street markets, sample delicious local wines, and enjoy the scenic views along the Rhine River.
