The Stadthistorisches Museum Mainz offers a vivid journey through the city’s 2,000-year history, with a focus on everyday life in the 19th and 20th centuries. Located in Building D of the Mainz Citadel, next to the ancient Drususstein, the museum was founded in 2000 and opened in 2003. It is run by a private association and funded through memberships, donations, and entrance fees. The museum’s permanent exhibition is divided into four thematic areas, showcasing Mainz’s social, economic, and cultural development. Highlights include the Bembé-Zimmer—a fully furnished salon from the renowned Mainzer furniture manufacturer Anton Bembé—and a dedicated section on Jewish history in Mainz. The museum also hosts rotating special exhibitions, lectures, readings, and concerts, making it a dynamic cultural venue. Its intimate setting and personal artifacts often evoke strong emotional responses from visitors, bridging past and present through memory and recognition.
