A historic city with a young spirit.

With around 40,000 students and about 225,000 residents, Mainz is a true student city.

Here you will find:

• a lively cultural scene
• cafés, bars, and restaurants
• festivals and events throughout the year
• a welcoming and international atmosphere

Founded by the Romans more than 2,000 years ago, Mainz is one of the oldest cities in Germany, yet it remains young, open-minded, and dynamic.

Students particularly enjoy the city's strong sense of community, its lively Carnival traditions and its high standard of living.

Sports fans will also recognize 1. FSV Mainz 05, the city’s Bundesliga football club that regularly competes with top teams such as FC Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

Study in one of Germany’s strongest economic regions.

Mainz is part of the internationally connected Rhine-Main metropolitan region, one of Europe’s most dynamic economic hubs.

Major cities nearby include:

• Frankfurt am Main
• Wiesbaden
• Darmstadt

The region offers excellent career opportunities, with numerous international companies, innovative start-ups, and strong medium-sized businesses.

Another major advantage is the proximity to Frankfurt Airport, one of Europe’s largest international airports. From Mainz, you can reach the airport in about 23 minutes by regional train, with connections every 30 minutes.

This makes Mainz an ideal starting point for international students from all over the world. And if you like to visit your family for the Christmas break – the distance to Frankfurt airport is equally short either way.

Discover one of Germany’s most beautiful landscapes.

Just west of Mainz lies the beautiful region of Rheinhessen, Germany’s largest wine-producing region.

Rolling hills, vineyards, and picturesque villages make it perfect for:

• hiking
• cycling and mountain biking
• exploring local culture and cuisine

Nearby you will also find the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape famous for its castles, historic towns, and breathtaking views along the Rhine River.
