Mainz is famous for its University, its Roman and Jewish heritage, its status as a media hub and regional capital, and its four most defining features: the Romanesque cathedral, the Gutenberg printing press, Marc Chagall and the Rhineland carnival. The people of Mainz have a good reason to be proud of their city's history spanning almost 2, 000 years.
