Hello, very nice video! 13 years ago I studied abroad in Mainz with Erasmus exchange program. It was so nice to see this city in your video after so many years :) I think you showed all the most interesting places in the video, although I also remembered the huge university campus. Thanks for the video!

A few years ago, I lived across the other side of the Rhein in Wiesbaden and visited Mainz often. Without a doubt, Mainz and its surroundings have a lot to offer for visitors. If you hear American English being spoken you shouldn't be surprised because, across the Rhein River, there is an American military base. One of the things I enjoyed doing when I lived there was hiking around in groups and getting to see the other sides of Germany that not too many get to see.

Love Germany one of our favourite countries to visit!

I lived in Mainz for a summer program and it is now one of my favorite places. I’m missing it a lot so seeing your video makes me feel so warm inside. Thanks for the video!

Thank you for the great video! I was there earlier last Easter Sunday too, in fact we were at the Brewery the night before best part was my 17 son was with us. I was stationed there from 1984-1986 such a beautiful city, we took a train to the Hilton and the taxi guy said to me to relax. I was like a kid on Christmas. We can’t wait to go back.

You're so lucky to be able to go to Mainz whenever you please! You are very close to Frankfurt too! We loved that region of Germany, we definitely hope to visit again 😊

Nice you made it to my birth town. One little correction, while Mainz has quite a touristy side, it also is an industrial hub and also has a huge university with 32000 students and which has its roots in the year 1477. BioNTech has already been mentioned, but there are other huge companies like Schott Glas, one of the largest suppliers of medical glass globally, e.g. vials for vaccines and also manufacturer of all kinds of specialized glass and ceramics, like the mirrors for the Keck telescope on Mauna Kea and other world famous telescopes. Regarding the little of the really old town area behind and around the cathedral, while there was huge damage in the war, most of it was finally destroyed in the 50s and 60s when the car-friendly town concepts ruined much of what was left of many German towns and turned them into ugly concrete machines. Luckily, from the 90s onwards, that trend was turned back in many places as good as possible. Regarding the war damage, I stumbled across old footage from May '45 while I was searching for another video. It gives you an impression of how long the way was to arrive at what you have seen on your tour through German cities. Mainz was around 85-90% rubble and burned-out facades at the time like basically all larger cities. It's really sad how these old images look terribly similar to what we are seeing every day now. Have we not learned anything... I hope Ukraine can make it back to its former glory soon, too... It was a long journey from this kzread.info/dash/bejne/dmR-k9ydg8q3dqQ.html to this kzread.info/dash/bejne/jK6AqpVvYLSYl7A.html But what I was actually looking for were these drone videos. There is nothing like the waterfront of a vivid city against the evening sun. That's where the name Golden Mainz comes from. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aqiMlLSJgqnTZKQ.html and kzread.info/dash/bejne/hJOYyrpxfrm8aKQ.html If you come back some day, you should cross the bridge to the other side. It's the best view one can get. ;-) Take care!

Thanks so much for all of the info! We have absolutely loved learning about the history of all of these EXTREMELY historic cities! Mainz was fantastic, such an awesome mix of old and new. Thanks for sharing that link, that is really fascinating and heartbreaking to see all of the damage from the war. But also so amazing to see how the city has been revived! We loved our time in Mainz, and would love to come back some time soon! Thanks for checking out the video and our channel 👍

Many American and Canadian flight crews layover in Mainz when they fly into Frankfurt. Could be why you noticed more of them.

About inventions: The first corona vaccine was also developed in Mainz. It is called BioNTech and is marketed worldwide as the Pfizer vaccine (German patent). Due to the tax revenue from BioNTech, Mainz got rid of all its debts overnight.

Honestly I will never understand why Americans need Mustard with their Pretzels.. lol. We just eat it plain or with butter. There is a lot of Americans in Mainz because there used to be a lot of military bases in Mainz and there still is in Wiesbaden. My Dad was stationed in Mainz and that's where he met my mom. Just like many others. So there are many german/American families in Mainz. 😁
