Guided Story
You're standing at the westernmost point of the four squares surrounding the Mainz Cathedral. Take a look around, and you'll notice that Höfchen is more than just a thoroughfare; it's a place where people pause and connect. It links the surrounding areas to the core of the city. To the west, about 63 meters away, you'll find Gutenbergplatz, and only a bit further, the Staatstheater Mainz. Both are easily accessible from here. This square not only connects you to the city's past but also to its vibrant present, reflected in the interactions and activities around you. Enjoy the unique urban layout that makes this place special.
