St. Emmeran

The St. Emmeran Church exhibits architectural features including buttresses, pointed arches, and a bell tower that characterizes Gothic religious construction from the 14th century.

The church stands on the site of a first-century Roman road connected to a legionary camp at Kästrich Bridge, with earliest documentation mentioning it as San Heimerammi in 1220.

The building serves as a gathering place for the Italian community in Mainz, contributing to the multicultural character of the historical city center.

Visitors can explore the preserved Rococo pulpit and examine the architectural elements during designated opening hours throughout the week.

A notable painting titled 'Ascension' by Franz Anton Maulbertsch from 1758 originally decorated the church before its transfer to St. Quintin in Mainz.
