Leichhof

Ever wondered what's beneath your feet? Right here, you're standing on what was once the cemetery of the Mainz Cathedral. Back in the 12th century, this ground was repurposed as parish churches established their own graveyards. Look up at the majestic cathedral towering above you. Imagine pilgrims of the past visiting to mourn their loved ones. Today, this spot is alive, bustling with people, where history and modern life mix. Turn to your west, and you'll spot St. Johannis Church, one of Germany's oldest. You might feel the old stories echoing through its walls as you soak in the vibrant life around you.
