One of the "hidden" places in Mainz I like very much. Humble but stunning testimony of roman presence and building skills... I strongly recommand
I am thrilled how history has been integrated into current life and living here. The wall and the lanes make the story present and arouse interest in more. The presentation of the buildings is fantastic and also popular with tourists. Guided tours come here and appreciably add value to this area.
During construction work for a residential complex on the "Kästrich" in Mainz Upper Town in 1985, wall remains of the late antique Mogontiacum were discovered. It was a Roman town gate dating from the 4th century, as well as the well-preserved pavement of the road leading through and parts of the late antique city wall. The architectural remains were conserved and integrated into the newly built residential complex as a visible and accessible testimony of the Roman Mainz.
After the collapse of the Limes in 259/60 AD, the Roman Mogontiacum again became a front town. The hitherto unpaved provincial capital had to provide adequate protection, which the Roman troops could not secure despite their massive presence there. The first city wall was built.
I think here Roman history comes alive again. In the stones you can see the traces of the iron-studded wheels. Crisp what is still to be found today.
