picture journal of my trip around frankfurt and mainz.

our hotel is quite a drive from the airport in mainz, a small quaint town highlighted in the map below.



managed to catch on film the sight of a pilot hurrying to his next flight, dragging his suitcase across the cobbled floor of the pretty square. How apt. He isnt the pilot of my plane though.
(the baroque fountain is just behind him near the white umbrella. )

Augustinerstraße and the Augustinerkirche

St Augustine's Church Undamaged and intact church in the middle of the old part of Mainz. Its abundant baroque adornments are unusual for the area.

Baroque façade of the towering Augustiner Church. Built to accommodate the needs of the former Augustinian hermit s monastery between 1768 and 1776.


The painter Johann Baptist Enderle, from Donauwörth, glorified the life of St Augustine in large ceiling paintings.
Johann Heinrich Stumm built the divded organ in 1773. This is one of the last remaining instruments of the organ dynasty
