Mainz Cathedral in the southwestern city of Mainz, Germany has been evolving in appearance since late in the tenth century when it was first constructed.

Inside the magnificent structure, visitors will find an impressive array of religious art and artifacts, including many crypts and tombs.
In 1188, the then Holy Roman Emperor chose this Cathedral in which to proclaim his support for the Third Crusade.
Though the stalwart cathedral did not escape World War Two unscathed, it did survive the Allied bombings, and was soon after restored.
The Cathedral has been beckoning visitors and natives who pass through the bustling center of Mainz for over a thousand years.

Mainz Cathedral or St. Martin's Cathedral is located near the historical center and pedestrianized market square of the city of Mainz, Germany. This 1000-year-old Roman Catholic cathedral is the site of the episcopal see of the Bishop of Mainz. Mainz Cathedral is predominantly Romanesque in style, but later exterior additions over many centuries have resulted in the appearance of various architectural influences seen today. It comprises three naves and stands under the patronage of Saint Martin of Tours. The eastern quire is dedicated to Saint Stephen.
The interior of the cathedral houses tombs and funerary monuments of former powerful Electoral-prince-archbishops, or Kurfürst-Erzbischöfe, of the diocese and contains religious works of art spanning a millennium. The cathedral also has a central courtyard and statues of Saint Boniface and The Madonna on its grounds. During the time of Mainz Archbishop Willigis (975-1011), the city of Mainz flourished economically, and Willigis became one of the most influential politicians of that time, ascending to regent of the empire between 991 and 994. In 975-976 shortly after his installation he ordered the construction of a new cathedral in the pre-Romanesque Ottonian architecture style. This new and impressive building was part of his vision of Mainz as the second Rome.
This new cathedral was to take over the functions of two churches: the old cathedral and St. Alban's, which was the largest church in the area, belonging to a Benedictine abbey and serving as the burial ground for the bishops and other nobles, including Fastrada, a spouse of Charlemagne. Most of the synods and other important meetings were held at St. Alban's Abbey.
The new cathedral consisted of a double chancel with two transepts. The main hall was built in the typical triple-nave cross pattern. As was usual at that time no vault was included because of structural difficulties relating to the size of the building. Six towers rose from the church. A cloister was enclosed in the structure and a small freestanding church, St. Mary's Church, connected by a colonnade. This small church developed later into the collegiate church of St. Maria ad Grada.
Present-day floor plan of the cathedral (↑S)
Sandstone was used as the primary building material for the cathedral. The inside was plastered white under the Archbishop Bardo, probably in the middle of the 10th century. During renovations ordered by Henry IV in the late 11th century, much of the outside was also plastered, but the cornices were left exposed in their original red and yellow. It is believed that the coloring of the cathedral was changed more times, but no further documentation of the coloring is available until record of the Baroque works.
The cathedral suffered extensive damage from a fire on the day of its inauguration in 1009. Archbishop Bardo (Bardo of Oppertshafen) presided over the completion of the cathedral begun under Willigis. By 1037 the main portions of the body of Mainz Cathedral were complete. Willigis was buried in the second church he had initiated, St. Stephan's, in 1011.
The reason for building two chancels is not entirely clear. Many scholars suggest that there is some symbolic significance, such as empire and church, or body and spirit, but no irrefutable evidence for these theories exists. Others claim that the construction has a functional purpose for ceremonial processions. Whatever the original intent of the double chancel, the eastern chancel came to serve as the location for the mass and the western chancel was reserved for the bishop and pontiffs.

Mainz is a German city on the Rhine River. It’s known for its old town, with half-timbered houses and medieval market squares. In the center, the Marktbrunnen is a Renaissance fountain with red columns. Nearby, a distinctive octagonal tower tops the Romanesque Mainz Cathedral, built of deep red sandstone. The Gutenberg Museum honors the inventor of the printing press with exhibits, including 2 of his original bibles.
Strategically situated at the confluence of the Rhine and Main Rivers, Mainz has been the capital of the German federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate since 1946. This lively city has a sizeable university, pretty pedestrian precincts and a savoir vivre dating from Napoleon's occupation (1797–1814). Strolling along the Rhine and sampling local wines in a half-timbered Altstadt tavern are as much a part of any Mainz visit as viewing the fabulous Dom, Chagall’s ethereal windows in St-Stephan-Kirche, or the first printed Bible in the bibliophile paradise of the Gutenberg Museum.
Once the episcopal seat of the influential Prince-Electors, the civilized origins of Mainz date back to around 38 BC, when the Romans built a citadel here. The city's location at the confluence of the Rhine and the Main is ideal for trade, something reflected by the artifacts kept in the Landesmuseum, that show there have been settlements here since 300,000 BC.
The most logical starting point is the Dom, the Cathedral of St Martin and St Stephan, especially on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, when the farmers' market is open. Although the cathedral was actually started in 975, most of what is seen today was built from the 11th to the 13th centuries. At the Dom und Diözesanmuseum in the cathedral cloisters, you can truly witness the opulence and wealth controlled by the Church in Mainz.
Mainz is also the home of the man identified by Time Magazine as the most important individual in the last millennium, Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the moveable type printing press. Mainz is also the home of the music publisher Schott Music.

Welcome to Mainz !

Mainz is the capital and largest city of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The city is located on the Rhine river at its confluence with the Main river, opposite Wiesbaden on the border with Hesse. Mainz is an independent city with a population of 206,628 (2015) and forms part of the Frankfurt Rhine-Main Metropolitan Region.
Mainz was founded as Mogontiacum by the Romans in the 1st Century BC during Classical antiquity, serving as a military fortress on the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire and as the provincial capital of Germania Superior. Mainz became an important city in the 8th Century AD as part of the Holy Roman Empire, becoming the capital of the Electorate of Mainz and seat of the Archbishop-Elector of Mainz, the Primate of Germany. Mainz is famous as the home of Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the movable-type printing press, who in the early 1450s manufactured his first books in the city, including the Gutenberg Bible. Historically, before the 20th century, the city was known in English as Mentz and in French as Mayence. Mainz was heavily damaged during World War II, with more than 30 air raids destroying about 80 percent of the city's center, including most of the historic buildings. Today, Mainz is a transport hub and a center of wine production.

Mainzer Domchor @ Die Bischofsweihe von Peter Kohlgraf im Mainzer Dom (2017)
Mainzer Domchor @ Kath. Festgottesdienst im Mainzer Dom zur Einführung von Peter Kohlgraf am 27.08.2017
Der Ablauf der Weihe ist streng festgelegt: Kardinal Karl Lehmann begrüßte zunächst die anwesenden Gäste, darunter die Ministerpräsidenten von Rheinland-Pfalz und Hessen, Malu Dreyer (SPD) und Volker Bouffier (CDU). Anschließend übergab der Gesandte des Papstes, Erzbischof Nikola Eterovic, die Ernennungsbulle des Papstes an Domdekan Heinz Heckwolf. Dieser zeigte die Urkunde in lateinischer Sprache dem Domkapitel, das Peter Kohlgraf als Nachfolger von Bischof Karl Lehmann gewählt hatte. Danach wurde die Bulle laut verlesen.
Mit der Ernennung wird Kohlgraf der 88. Nachfolger des heiligen Bonifatius. Dieser hatte das Bischofsamt in Mainz acht Jahre lang von 746 bis 754 inne.
Es folgten weitere Einzelschritte der Weihe, so die Befragung des Kandidaten, ob er für die Aufgaben des neuen Amtes bereit sei. Danach wurden die Heiligen angerufen. Währenddessen lag Peter Kohlgraf mit dem Gesicht nach unten etwa acht Minuten auf dem Boden. Dies, so hatte Kohlgraf zuvor in einem SWR-Interview gesagt, sei ein besonderer Moment der Demut. In diesem werde klar, dass es nicht um einen selbst, sondern um jemand ganz anderen gehe.
Vor der eigentlichen Weihe hatte der frühere Mainzer Bischof Kardinal Karl Lehmann noch einmal an seiner früheren Wirkungsstätte gepredigt. Er rief seinen Nachfolger dazu auf, sein Amt als Dienst für die Menschen zu verstehen. Das Bischofsamt ist nicht zur persönlichen Ehre gegeben, sagte er.
In seiner Ansprache an die Menschen warnte Kohlgraf die Kirche, sich aus der Öffentlichkeit zurückzuziehen. Jedes Mitglied der Kirche ist berufen, sich einzumischen in politische Debatten, mitzumachen, wo Hilfe gebraucht wird, den Mund aufzumachen, wo andere schweigen, eine respektvolle Sprache zu sprechen, wo andere Hass säen. Im Anschluss gab er bereits erste Personalentscheidungen bekannt. So soll Weihbischof Udo Bentz als Nachfolger von Dietmar Giebelmann neuer Generalvikar des Bistums werden.
Mainz Cathedral
Long layover in Frankfort, Germany so I took the train to nearby Mainz, Germany. There, in the city center, I walked into the Romanesque Mainz Cathedral. Also known as St. Martin's Cathedral, the structure was built between 991 and 994, A.D. Here, I discovered a large choir comprised of adults, children and soloists, complete with a full orchestra. They were rehearsing for a performance. Who can be the first to identify this piece of music?
