Algesheimer Hof, Cultural heritage monument in Mainz, Germany
The Algesheimer Hof stands at the corner of Christophsgässchen and Hintere Christophsgasse near Karmeliterplatz in the old town of Mainz.
Johannes Gutenberg spent his final years in this location until his death on February 3, 1468, under the patronage of Archbishop Adolf II of Nassau.
The building served as a central university facility where senate meetings, academic promotions, and institutional celebrations took place following its integration in 1477.
The current structure, rebuilt in the 1970s, incorporates the original Baroque portal and features a memorial plaque commemorating Gutenberg at the main entrance.
The site reveals extensive Roman brick remains during excavations, indicating a substantial administrative structure from ancient Mogontiacum period.
