Osteiner Hof, Baroque city palace at Schillerplatz, Mainz, Germany.
The Osteiner Hof features three round protrusions on its facade, with classical stone carvings framing windows and balcony doors throughout the structure.
Between 1747 and 1752, architect Johann Valentin Thomann constructed this mansion for Franz Wolfgang Damian von Ostein, connected to Mainz ruling family.
The building holds a central position in Mainz carnival celebrations, with the season officially announced from its balcony every November 11 at 11:11.
The palace sits in Mainz-Altstadt at Schillerplatz 1, offering visitors a chance to examine German baroque architectural elements from the exterior.
After the French Revolutionary wars in 1798, the palace became an administrative center for the newly established département of Mont-Tonnerre.
