Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FA7WT3 - . Collection of souvenir fridge magnets from European city travels. Photographed on 13 August 2026. The recorded location is United Kingdom. Collection of colourful souvenir fridge magnets gathered from European city trips, including examples representing Tallinn, Mainz, Bristol and other destinations. Displayed together as a personal travel collection, the magnets illustrate inexpensive tourism souvenirs, place branding and the way travellers record memories of holidays and city breaks. The image can illustrate European tourism, travel memorabilia, collectibles, gifts, destination marketing and everyday domestic displays of travel experiences. Mainz stands on the Rhine and has more than two millennia of history, from Roman Mogontiacum through its role as an archiepiscopal city to the birthplace of Johannes Gutenberg. The old town combines reconstructed historic streets, churches, wine culture and post-war urban development, giving street signs and façades strong local-history context. In relation to public history, historical context shows that museums turn objects into interpreted history, while archives preserve documents that may have little value until researchers connect them with people, buildings or events
Interiors therefore record both collections and changing curatorial practice. For the story of household object, it is useful to note that collectable items gain meaning through provenance and context
A board game, badge, souvenir or branded package may connect a national event or local place with mass manufacturing and personal memory. As of 2026, the position for public history is that libraries and museums continue to operate as community hubs, visitor attractions and sources of digital access, while funding pressures encourage partnerships, volunteering and new uses for historic buildings. Further relevant terminology includes holiday, decorative, gift, souvenirs, museum, and archive.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F9CWPW - DB platform 5 at Mainz Hauptbahnhof in Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, with passengers waiting beneath an electronic departure information display for a regional train towards Offenbach via Frankfurt Flughafen. The image shows the covered railway platform, track, station signage and digital passenger information board, providing a clear documentary view of everyday rail travel in a major German regional transport hub. Mainz Hauptbahnhof connects the Rhineland-Palatinate state capital with Frankfurt, Frankfurt Airport, Wiesbaden, Offenbach and other destinations across the Rhine-Main region. The photograph is suitable for editorial coverage of Deutsche Bahn, German railways, regional trains, station infrastructure, passenger information systems, commuting, airport connections, public transport, rail investment, timetable reliability and sustainable travel. The visible electronic display, platform number and waiting passengers also make the scene useful for stories about delays, service information, integrated transport and the practical passenger experience of travelling through a busy German railway station.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F8BCF1 - A detailed interior view of the impressive Renaissance funerary monument to Heinrich von Selbold inside Mainz Cathedral (Mainzer Dom or Hoher Dom St. Martin) in Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The elaborate wall monument depicts Heinrich von Selbold standing in richly decorated late Renaissance armour with a ceremonial sword, accompanied by a lion at his feet symbolising courage and nobility. Surrounding the life-sized figure are numerous colourful heraldic coats of arms representing noble family alliances and ancestral lineage, framed within an ornate carved stone architectural surround. The monument is one of many important funerary memorials preserved within Mainz Cathedral, reflecting the cathedral's long role as the burial place of archbishops, nobles, canons and influential citizens connected with the Archbishopric of Mainz and the Holy Roman Empire. Founded in 975 and rebuilt over successive centuries, Mainz Cathedral combines Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque architecture and houses one of Germany's finest collections of medieval and Renaissance funerary monuments. The richly carved sculpture demonstrates the artistic craftsmanship, heraldry, religious symbolism and commemorative traditions of sixteenth-century Germany. Today the cathedral is among Mainz's most important cultural landmarks and tourist attractions, drawing visitors interested in German history, Christianity, ecclesiastical art, Renaissance sculpture, genealogy, heraldry, architecture and European cultural heritage. This editorial image is suitable for illustrating German history, religious architecture, medieval heritage, Renaissance art, historic monuments, tourism, travel, cathedrals, churches, sculpture, noble families, heraldic emblems and cultural heritage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F8BCFF - . 16th-century Renaissance funerary monument or epitaph inside Mainz Cathedral, the Mainzer Dom, in Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The photograph records an ornate historic memorial mounted on the cathedral wall, combining carved stone architectural framing with a colourful religious scene and an inscribed commemorative panel beneath. Such monuments were commissioned to preserve the memory, status and Christian faith of clergy, nobles and prominent citizens, and they form an important part of the layered interior history of the cathedral. Mainz Cathedral, formally St Martin's Cathedral, is one of Germany's great Romanesque imperial cathedrals and has dominated the old city for more than a thousand years. Founded under Archbishop Willigis around the end of the 10th century, the building was repeatedly damaged, rebuilt and enlarged, so its interior contains Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and later work. Funerary monuments and episcopal memorials throughout the cathedral document changing artistic styles, religious practice, heraldry, costume and social hierarchy across many centuries. This Renaissance example illustrates the transition from medieval memorial traditions towards more classical architectural forms and increasingly individualised commemorative imagery. The image is suitable for editorial coverage of Mainz Cathedral, German Renaissance art, ecclesiastical sculpture, funerary monuments, epitaphs, church interiors, Christian iconography, historic inscriptions, European religious heritage, conservation, genealogy, memorial culture, German history, architecture and cultural tourism. It also provides a detailed documentary record of an individual monument within one of Mainz's principal landmarks and a major visitor attraction in the historic city centre. It also supports art-history and conservation features on sacred memorials and European cathedral heritage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F8YR60 - . Bockshöfchen street sign on a historic building in Mainz old town, Rhineland-Palatinate,Germany. Red sign signifies a street running down to the Rhine. Photographed on 7 August 2026. The recorded location is Bockshöfchen, Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The decorative red sign with Gothic-style lettering identifies the narrow historic lane or small street in the Altstadt. Weathered walls and decorative lettering reinforce the historic atmosphere of the location. Mainz stands on the Rhine and has more than two millennia of history, from Roman Mogontiacum through its role as an archiepiscopal city to the birthplace of Johannes Gutenberg. The old town combines reconstructed historic streets, churches, wine culture and post-war urban development, giving street signs and façades strong local-history context. For the story of bilingual signage, it is useful to note that temporary and permanent notices are valuable social-history evidence because they capture the rules and assumptions of a particular moment, from parking and access to opening times, safety and public-service instructions. For present-day bilingual signage, 2026 is significant because current public-realm design increasingly expects signs to be legible, inclusive and consistent, while bilingual and accessibility information reflects wider policy around language and equal access. Useful alternative terminology includes public information, wayfinding, direction sign, typography, public realm, visitor guidance, information sign, accessibility sign, graphic communication, street furniture, IMG_3747, heritage, tourism, detail, architecture, traditional, travel, and street name. Further relevant search phrases include historic centre. For notice, the historical context is that temporary and permanent notices are valuable social-past evidence because they capture the rules and assumptions of a particular moment, from parking and access to opening times, safety and public-service instructions.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F8YR7E - . Kuehn Kunz Rosen craft beer brewery sign in Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Photographed on 7 August 2026. The large weathered sign carries the KUEHN KUNZ ROSEN name and distinctive diamond logo, associated with the independent Mainz craft brewery. The aged sign surface adds texture and character, contrasting with the clean graphic identity of the brewery name and emblem. Mainz stands on the Rhine and has more than two millennia of history, from Roman Mogontiacum through its role as an archiepiscopal city to the birthplace of Johannes Gutenberg. The old town combines reconstructed historic streets, churches, wine culture and post-war urban development, giving street signs and façades strong local-history context. In relation to historic pub, historical context shows that beer culture links agriculture, brewing, distribution and the licensed trade
Cask-conditioned ale, handpumps, brewery branding and pub interiors became especially important to the real-ale revival from the 1970s onwards, while later craft brewing introduced new styles and independent producers. For the story of graphic communication, it is useful to note that temporary and permanent notices are valuable social-history evidence because they capture the rules and assumptions of a particular moment, from parking and access to opening times, safety and public-service instructions. The historical setting for industrial archaeology is that industrial buildings and machinery preserve the material history of manufacturing: steam power, engineering, mining, textiles, ceramics and mass production transformed both the economy and the physical character of towns
Surviving equipment is now studied as industrial archaeology. As of 2026, the position for historic pub is that in England eligible pubs and live-music venues receive a 15% business-rates relief for the 2026/27 billing year, reflecting continuing concern about operating costs, closures and the role of hospitality in town-centre.

The recorded location is Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The modern retail frontage is brightly illuminated and carries the familiar C&A logo above large display windows. Evening lighting highlights the contrast between the bright shop interior and darker urban surroundings. Mainz stands on the Rhine and has more than two millennia of story.htm Target=_Blank>history, from Roman Mogontiacum through its role as an archiepiscopal city to the birthplace of Johannes Gutenberg. The old town combines reconstructed historic streets, churches, wine culture and post-war urban development, giving street signs and façades strong local-history context. Within the history of commercial history, local businesses provide unusually precise social-history evidence because names, branding and uses change more quickly than the buildings they occupy
A shop, café, pub or service company can disappear while the façade survives, leaving photographs as a record of the previous commercial life of the street. In relation to clothing accessory, historical context shows that neckwear evolved repeatedly through the twentieth century as widths, fibres and patterns followed wider shifts in menswear
Silk ties also demonstrate the persistence of traditional materials within mass-produced fashion. For the story of high street, it is useful to note that market halls have long concentrated small traders under one roof, combining food, household goods and specialist retail with an important social role
Regenerated markets increasingly mix traditional stalls with cafés, events and independent makers. Against the 2026 backdrop for commercial history, current interest in community assets and place-making gives photographs of individual businesses added significance when premises close, rebrand or are converted to new uses.

The recorded location is Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Shops and pedestrians line the pedestrianised shopping street while the red sandstone cathedral rises above the surrounding buildings. The image combines contemporary retail activity with historic architecture and can illustrate tourism, German city centres, evening shopping, pedestrian streets, urban heritage and the everyday life of Mainz. Warm shop lighting contrasts with the blue evening sky and the historic church tower. Mainz stands on the Rhine and has more than two millennia of history, from Roman Mogontiacum through its role as an archiepiscopal city to the birthplace of Johannes Gutenberg. The old town combines reconstructed historic streets, churches, wine culture and post-war urban development, giving street signs and façades strong local-history context. The background to memorial is that ecclesiastical buildings are both active places of worship and repositories of local evidence
Churchyard monuments, carved stone, stained glass and plaques offer material for genealogy, architectural history, religious practice and remembrance. Current 2026 context around memorial is that many historic churches face the practical challenge of maintaining listed fabric while remaining active community buildings, visitor attractions and venues for worship, music and local events

Mainz stands on the Rhine and has more than two millennia of history, from Roman Mogontiacum through its role as an archiepiscopal city to the birthplace of Johannes Gutenberg. The old town combines reconstructed historic streets, churches, wine culture and post-war urban development, giving street signs and façades strong local-history context. The background to ecclesiastical architecture is that churches combine worship with architecture, local memory and centuries of community history
Stonework, stained glass, memorials, furnishings and churchyards often record successive periods of rebuilding, Victorian restoration, local benefactors and family history. Within the history of hostelry, beer culture links agriculture, brewing, distribution and the licensed trade
Cask-conditioned ale, handpumps, brewery branding and pub interiors became especially significant to the real-ale revival from the 1970s onwards, while later craft brewing introduced new styles and independent producers. In relation to urban culture, historical context shows that street art and murals are especially valuable as temporary cultural evidence because they may be painted over or lost during redevelopment
Photographs preserve both the artwork and its relationship with the surrounding neighbourhood. Current 2026 context around ecclesiastical architecture is that many historic churches face the practical challenge of maintaining listed fabric while remaining active community buildings, visitor attractions and venues for worship, music and local events

The old town combines reconstructed historic streets, churches, wine culture and post-war urban development, giving street signs and façades strong local-history context. Looking at notice, the longer history is that temporary and permanent notices are valuable social-history evidence because they capture the rules and assumptions of a particular moment, from parking and access to opening times, safety and public-service instructions. The background to beer culture is that british pubs developed from inns, taverns and alehouses into licensed social institutions that have long served as meeting places, music venues and landmarks
Names, brewery signs, etched glass, tiled interiors and evolving fascias can preserve local history even when ownership or use changes. In 2026, notice remains relevant because current public-realm design increasingly expects signs to be legible, inclusive and consistent, while bilingual and accessibility information reflects wider policy around language and equal access. Current 2026 context around beer culture is that in England eligible pubs and live-music venues receive a 15% business-rates relief for the 2026/27 billing year, reflecting continuing concern about operating costs, closures and the role of hospitality in town-centre vitality.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F9CW95 - . Large stone sculptural head and seating feature in Mainz Stadtpark, Germany. Photographed on 7 August 2026. The recorded location is Mainz Stadtpark, Mainz, Germany. Mainz stands on the Rhine and has more than two millennia of history, from Roman Mogontiacum through its role as an archiepiscopal city to the birthplace of Johannes Gutenberg. The old town combines reconstructed historic streets, churches, wine culture and post-war urban development, giving street signs and façades strong local-history context. Seen through sculpture, the earlier context is that public art turns streets and buildings into records of local culture
Murals, statues and memorial sculpture can commemorate people and events, celebrate industry, respond to politics or simply enliven public space, while materials and style often identify a particular era. For heritage attraction, the historical context is that museums turn objects into interpreted history, while archives preserve documents that may have little value until researchers connect them with people, buildings or events
Interiors therefore record both collections and changing curatorial practice. The 2026 relevance of sculpture comes from the fact that contemporary street art continues to blur the line between unofficial expression, commissioned mural and tourist attraction
Images are therefore relevant to urban culture, creative industries, heritage interpretation and place-making. For heritage attraction, the 2026 context is that libraries and museums continue to operate as community hubs, visitor attractions and sources of digital access, while funding pressures encourage partnerships, volunteering and new uses for historic buildings. Relevant synonyms and subject phrases include artwork, cultural identity, visual culture, community art, memorial art, public realm, cultural landmark, public library, reading room, local history, public history, museum display, archive research, and library service.

The old town combines reconstructed historic streets, churches, wine culture and post-war urban development, giving street signs and façades strong local-history context. For vintage object, the historical context is that material culture includes the ordinary products people bought, used, collected or displayed
Small manufactured objects can reveal national identity, advertising, technology and popular taste in ways that formal records do not. Looking at print history, the longer history is that popular print such as comics and manuals documents everyday reading habits rather than elite culture, making surviving issues useful evidence of humour, hobbies, advertising and consumer interests. For vintage object, the 2026 context is that online resale, nostalgia and interest in vintage design have made many ordinary twentieth-century objects active collecting categories rather than disposable goods. In 2026, print history remains relevant because physical comics, manuals and vouchers now coexist with apps, e-books and online instructions

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F9CWAJ - Stainless-steel cylindroconical fermentation tank, commonly known as a CCT or unitank, at Kuehn Kunz Rosen craft brewery in Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The tall conical vessel is fitted with pipework, valves and inspection fittings used during the controlled fermentation and conditioning stages of beer production. Modern CCTs allow brewers to ferment, mature and sometimes carbonate beer in a single hygienic closed vessel, helping control temperature, yeast handling and product consistency. The photograph is suitable for editorial coverage of craft brewing, brewery technology, beer production, fermentation, stainless-steel food-processing equipment, independent breweries, microbreweries and German beer culture. It can also illustrate stories about brewery investment, production capacity, brewing science, energy and water use, automation, hygiene, manufacturing and the equipment required by the expanding modern craft-beer sector.

The recorded location is Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Mainz stands on the Rhine and has more than two millennia of history, from Roman Mogontiacum through its role as an archiepiscopal city to the birthplace of Johannes Gutenberg. The old town combines reconstructed historic streets, churches, wine culture and post-war urban development, giving street signs and façades strong local-history context. In relation to signage, historical context shows that signs are functional pieces of graphic design that organise movement and communicate rules, names or destinations
Lettering, symbols, colours and materials can date public space as clearly as architecture, particularly when organisations rebrand or regulations evolution. For the story of hostelry, it is useful to note that beer culture links agriculture, brewing, distribution and the licensed trade
Cask-conditioned ale, handpumps, brewery branding and pub interiors became especially significant to the real-ale revival from the 1970s onwards, while later craft brewing introduced new styles and independent producers. As of 2026, the position for signage is that digital maps and smartphone navigation are ubiquitous, but physical signage remains essential for safety, accessibility, legal restrictions and visitors without reliable connectivity. For present-day hostelry, 2026 is significant because pub survival remains a live issue as energy, staffing, taxation and changing drinking habits affect the licensed trade
Historic and contemporary pub images therefore have relevance to community assets, nightlife, independent brewing, high-street change and hospitality economics. Relevant long-tail terms include public information, wayfinding, direction sign, notice, typography, public realm, visitor guidance, information sign, bilingual signage, accessibility sign, and graphic communication.

Mainz stands on the Rhine and has more than two millennia of history, from Roman Mogontiacum through its role as an archiepiscopal city to the birthplace of Johannes Gutenberg. The old town combines reconstructed historic streets, churches, wine culture and post-war urban development, giving street signs and façades strong local-history context. Within the history of eating out, packaging and utensils also matter: corks, bottles and branded labels preserve evidence of production and trade alongside the food or drink itself. In relation to alehouse, historical context shows that british pubs developed from inns, taverns and alehouses into licensed social institutions that have long served as meeting places, music venues and landmarks
Names, brewery signs, etched glass, tiled interiors and evolving fascias can preserve local history even when ownership or use changes. For the story of notice, it is useful to note that wayfinding developed from painted names and fingerposts into standardised road, rail and public-information systems
Local signs still retain distinctive typography or bilingual wording even within increasingly consistent national standards. Against the 2026 backdrop for eating out, hospitality and food retail continue to adapt to higher costs, delivery platforms and changing diets, making older restaurant and product images useful evidence of consumer trends. As of 2026, the position for alehouse is that in England eligible pubs and live-music venues receive a 15% business-rates relief for the 2026/27 billing year, reflecting continuing concern about operating costs, closures and the role of hospitality in town-centre vitality.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F8BCB7 - A brightly branded pink, purple and blue Octopus Energy service van parked in Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, promoting the company's German heat pump and domestic heating services. The distinctive commercial vehicle carries prominent Octopus Energy branding and Wärmepumpen wording, making it a highly visible example of the rapidly developing European market for low-carbon home heating, energy efficiency and residential electrification. Octopus Energy entered the German energy market in 2020 and has subsequently expanded its activities beyond electricity supply into heat pump installation and associated home energy services. Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly important alternative to traditional gas and oil boilers because they use electricity to transfer available heat rather than producing heat directly through fossil-fuel combustion. Germany's transition towards cleaner domestic heating forms part of wider efforts to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, reduce dependence on fossil fuels and cut carbon emissions from homes. The company's German heat pump offering includes planning, installation, commissioning and ongoing services, alongside electricity tariffs aimed at households using electrically powered heating. Photographed in a modern urban residential setting in Mainz, the van appears ready for field service work, installation, maintenance or customer support. Its striking corporate livery, combining vivid pink and purple bodywork with blue detailing and the distinctive Octopus Energy identity, contrasts strongly with the neutral apartment buildings, paving and conventional parked cars surrounding it. The vehicle demonstrates how renewable energy companies are extending into practical domestic energy technology and engineering services as European households consider alternatives to conventional boilers. The image provides a strong contemporary editorial illustration of heat pump installation, German energy policy, renewable electricity

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RKGHJK - The Christuskirche (Christ Church) is a Protestant church located in Mainz. The Christuskirche was built between 1896 and 1903 designed by Eduard Kreyßig. It was consecrated on 2 July 1903. After demolition during the air raids of World War II the church was reconstructed between 1952 and 1954. The congregation forms part of the Protestant Church in Hesse and Nassau.
In the predominantly Catholic Mainz of 1802, only some hundred Protestants could be traced at the end of the Ancien Régime. Napoleon Bonaparte was the first to grant them the right of freely practising their religion and he expanded their civil rights. Previously Protestants had the status of tolerated human beings, a status they shared with the Jews. Around the year 1900 already 33% of the inhabitants of Mainz had the Protestant confession.
Due to increase of the Protestant community, they had to search for new space. The extension of the old city borders by the new expanded town Mainz-Neustadt during the last trimester of the 19th century opened the opportunity to demonstrate the self-confidence of the Protestant community by erecting a new church building. Along with the Kaiserstraße, a new twin lined three-lane boulevard, the church was erected by Eduard Kreyßig, the master builder of Mainz, in Renaissance Revival style. The church was intended to be a representative counterbalance to the Catholic Mainz Cathedral. The mighty dome excels other churches and buildings of the inner city of Mainz.
Besides services, the Christuskirche is shared by lovers of music, since Diethard Hellmann founded in 1954 the Bach Choir and Bach Orchestra to perform especially Bach's cantatas. Fans of Gospel music enjoy the yearly performances of Colours of Gospel. Traditionally the opening mass services of the University of Mainz at the beginning of the academic term take place here.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RMMPBT - . Peter Schöffer, Schofferhof brewery, Mainz, Germany. Photographed on 21 February 2023. The recorded location is Kästrich 39, 55116 Mainz, Germany. Schöfferhofer brew wheat beer that is known for its refreshing and fruity taste. The history of Schöfferhofer dates back to 1806, when the brewery was founded by Georg Schöffler in Mainz, Germany. The brewery was later acquired by Binding-Brauerei AG in 1921, and then by Radeberger Gruppe in 2001. Schöfferhofer is a brand of German wheat beer named for the former house of Peter Schöffer (the house was called the Mainzer Schöfferhof) in which a brewery was founded. This brand of beer sports a portrait of Peter Schöffer as its trademark. The Schöfferhofer brand originates from this brewery in Mainz, which is also known as the Brauerei Dreikönigshof. According to the New York Times, in her 2014 novel Gutenberg's Apprentice, Alix Christie addresses the issues of intellectual property theft relating to Schöffer and Gutenberg in the invention of printing. Mainz stands on the Rhine and has more than two millennia of history, from Roman Mogontiacum through its role as an archiepiscopal city to the birthplace of Johannes Gutenberg. The old town combines reconstructed historic streets, churches, wine culture and post-war urban development, giving street signs and façades strong local-history context. For the story of community asset, it is useful to note that british pubs developed from inns, taverns and alehouses into licensed social institutions that have long served as meeting places, music venues and landmarks
Names, brewery signs, etched glass, tiled interiors and changing fascias can preserve local history even when ownership or use changes. The historical setting for housing is that residential architecture is closely tied to planning and social change
Post-war estates, high-rise blocks, gated developments and city-centre apartments reveal assumptions about land values, transport, security and the.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PPXYC1 - . 93 Raus-geflogen float - German football team early world cup exit - Fastnacht 2023 - Mainz city centre, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Photographed on 20 February 2023. A float that satirically depicts the early exit, of the German national football team, at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, passes through the city centre of Mainz, for Fastnacht carnival Shrove Monday 2023. Looking at the subject's development, sporting images document not only competition but venues, equipment, supporters and the commercial culture surrounding games
Stadiums, tickets and memorabilia can quickly become historical as clubs rebuild grounds, sponsors change and technology alters the spectator experience. The historical context is that town and city centres are continually rewritten by new buildings, transport schemes and changing commercial uses
Photographs preserve the everyday fabric between major landmarks, including underpasses, arcades, back streets and small businesses that may disappear during redevelopment. For the 2026 context, professional sport is increasingly shaped by digital broadcasting, data, sponsorship and sophisticated venues, while heritage grounds and physical memorabilia retain strong emotional appeal for supporters. The subject remains topical in 2026 because current regeneration programmes make older urban photographs particularly useful
They allow comparison of high streets, underpasses, shopping areas and public spaces before redevelopment, while also documenting local identity that may not survive physical change. The wider historical story is that sport is closely tied to local identity and popular culture
Grounds, trophies, simulators and match-day material show how professional and recreational sport are experienced away from the action itself, while preserving details that may later disappear. Relevant alternative phrases include fan culture, sporting heritage, match day, sports venue, trophy, sporting culture, and club history.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RPGEEM - Johannes Gutenberg's work on the printing press began in approximately 1436 when he partnered with Andreas Dritzehn”a man who had previously instructed in gem-cutting”and Andreas Heilmann, owner of a paper mill. However, it was not until a 1439 lawsuit against Gutenberg that an official record existed
witnesses' testimony discussed Gutenberg's types, an inventory of metals (including lead), and his type molds.
Having previously worked as a professional goldsmith, Gutenberg made skillful use of the knowledge of metals he had learned as a craftsman. He was the first to make type from an alloy of lead, tin, and antimony, which was critical for producing durable type that produced high-quality printed books and proved to be much better suited for printing than all other known materials. To create these lead types, Gutenberg used what is considered one of his most ingenious inventions, a special matrix enabling the quick and precise molding of new type blocks from a uniform template. His type case is estimated to have contained around 290 separate letter boxes, most of which were required for special characters, ligatures, punctuation marks, and so forth.
Gutenberg is also credited with the introduction of an oil-based ink which was more durable than the previously used water-based inks. As printing material he used both paper and vellum (high-quality parchment). In the Gutenberg Bible, Gutenberg made a trial of coloured printing for a few of the page headings, present only in some copies. A later work, the Mainz Psalter of 1453, presumably designed by Gutenberg but published under the imprint of his successors Johann Fust and Peter Schöffer, had elaborate red and blue printed initials.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RGKEYT - Bayer AG is a German multinational pharmaceutical and life sciences company and one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Headquartered in Leverkusen, where its illuminated corporate logo, the Bayer cross, is a landmark, Bayer's areas of business include human and veterinary pharmaceuticals
stock-photo/gotonysmith-Consumer.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>consumer healthcare products
agricultural chemicals and biotechnology products
and high-value polymers. The company is a component of the Euro Stoxx 50 stock market index. Werner Baumann has been CEO since 2016.
Founded in Barmen in 1863 as a dyestuffs factory, Bayer's first and best-known product was aspirin. In 1898 Bayer trademarked the name heroin for the drug diacetylmorphine and marketed it as a cough suppressant and non-addictive substitute for morphine until 1910. Bayer also introduced phenobarbital
prontosil, the first widely used antibiotic and the subject of the 1939 Nobel Prize in Medicine
the antibiotic Cipro (ciprofloxacin)
and Yaz (drospirenone) birth control pills.
In 1925 Bayer was one of six chemical companies that merged to form IG Farben, the world's largest chemical and pharmaceutical company. The Allied Control Council seized IG Farben after World War II, because of its role in the Nazi war effort and involvement in the Holocaust, which included using slave labour from concentration camps. It was split into its six constituent companies in 1951, then split again into three: BASF, Bayer and Hoechst.
Bayer played a key role in the Wirtschaftswunder in post-war West Germany, quickly regaining its position as one of the world's largest chemical and pharmaceutical corporations. In 2006 the company acquired Schering, in 2014 it acquired Merck & Co.'s consumer business, with brands such as Claritin, Coppertone and Dr. Scholl's, and in 2018 it acquired Monsanto, a leading producer of genetically engineered crops, for $63 billion. Bayer CropScience develops genetically modified crops and pesticides.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RGGE73 - The Mainz Carnival (Mainzer Fastnacht) is a months-long citywide carnival celebration in Mainz, Germany that traditionally begins on 11 November but culminates in the days before Ash Wednesday in the spring.
It is one of the largest carnival events in Germany and, along with the Cologne and Düsseldorfer carnivals, Mainz is one of the three cities prominent in the rhenish carnival tradition. Aside from the celebrations, parades, and jollity which are typical of carnival traditions in many countries, the Mainz carnival has an unusual emphasis on political and literary humor and commentary.
The fountain is vitally important to all real Meenzer (people from Mainz): Every year on 11/11, all people celebrating Carnival in Mainz (fools) gather here when the clock on the balcony of the facing Osteiner Hof (Court of Ostein) strikes 11:11 p.m., which marks the fifth season of Carnival. The carnival is traditionally opened with the announcement of the 11 carnival laws.
The 8.50 metre-high carnival fountain, unveiled in 1967, designed by Blasius Spreng, is a comparatively young monument in Mainz. Nevertheless, you can't imagine it not being in the cityscape. With over 200 figures from carnival and mythology, it is a symbol of typical Mainz joie de vivre

Father Rhine, the monk and the man with the blockhead, the cat, Till Eulenspiegel and the city goddess, Mogontia, the purse scrubber and the paragraph rider. They are all examples of the variety of fantasy motifs that populate the Carnival fountain.
During the 19th century celebrants began using the carnival as an opportunity to mock the military forces occupying the city's fortress. The uniforms of the carnival guards are still reminders of the uniforms of the Austrian, Prussian, and French troops which were present in the town between 1792 and 1866.

The Gutenberg Museum is one of the oldest museums of printing in the world, located opposite the cathedral in the old part of Mainz, Germany. It is named after Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of printing from movable metal type in Western Europe. The collections include printing equipment and examples of printed materials from many cultures.
A group of people founded the museum in 1900, 500 years after Johannes Gutenberg's birth, to honor the inventor and present his technical and artistic achievements to the public at large. They also aimed to exhibit the writing and printing of as many different cultures as possible.
Publishers, manufacturers of printing machines and printing houses donated books, apparatus and machines, which formed the basis of the collection. In its first few years the museum was part of the city library, meaning that the most beautiful and characteristic volumes from the library's extensive collection could be requisitioned for the museum. Visitors were thus presented with a survey of almost 500 years of the printed book. In time the museum expanded to include sections on printing techniques, book art, job printing and ex-libris, graphics and posters, paper, the history of writing of all cultures of the world and modern artists' books.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RGKETK - One of the most common types of fire protection systems for office buildings are fire sprinkler systems. While fire sprinkler systems are more than capable of suppressing a fire, the water from the sprinkler system can damage sensitive environments like server rooms, telecommunication sites, data centers, control rooms, museums, power plants, and more. For these environments, businesses turn to fire suppression systems that disperse an inert gas or combination of gasses to suppress the fire without causing damage to electronics or permanently losing data.
For buildings that have little or no occupancy, carbon dioxide systems are often used as the key suppressant. However, carbon dioxide (CO2) fire suppression systems create an inherent health risk for people in the area. That is why you won't normally find CO2 fire suppression systems installed in normally occupied buildings and enclosures. Instead, you'll find clean agent fire suppression systems installed to protect sensitive environments. Clean agent fire suppression systems pose a much lower health risk to people when compared to CO2 which can be deadly. When choosing a clean agent fire suppression system, there are three common types:

Due to the repeated expulsion of the Jews from Mainz and the subsequent dissolution and destruction of the cemetery, one can no longer speak of an ideal situation that has grown over time. Only through the initiative of the then community rabbi Dr. In 1926, Sali Levi managed to create a memorial cemetery. There, the tombstones found in all parts of Mainz, some of which were used as building material, were brought together. Among the 196 stones, 6 are from the 11th century.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RGGE0C - The Roman Theatre in Mainz, Rhineland Palatinate (ancient Mogontiacum) was excavated in the late 1990s. It is located immediately next to the Mainz Römisches Theater station and was once the largest Roman theatre north of the Alps, with a diameter of 116 metres, a stage-width of 42 metres, and a capacity of roughly ten thousand people.
Mogontiacum owed its significance to its location at the meeting point of the Main and the Rhine. The city provided a convenient base for the defense of the nearby border of the Roman empire, the limes, and for the organisation of military campaigns against the Germanii. As a result, a double legionary camp was built on the site in 13/12 BC, which remained in place until some time after AD 350.
Over time a civilian settlement (Latin vicus) also developed on the site, which became the provincial capital of the newly created province of Germania Superior around AD 80. In this city, a Roman theatre was built, which was probably closely associated with the funerary games held in honour of Drusus. From 9 BC, military parades (decursio militum) were held in honour of Drusus at his cenotaph, the Drususstein, which was only 340 metres away from the theatre. Accordingly, the Roman theatre may have been used for the thanksgiving ceremony (supplicatio) by the representations of the sixty local Gallic communities (Galliarum civitates) in honour of Drusus. Suetonius mentions a theatre at Mogontiacum in his account of events in AD 39. Probably the currently visible stone structure was preceded by an earlier structure in wood.
The theatre was the largest Roman theatre north of the Alps, seating some 10,000 visitors. The diameter of the seating area is 116 metres and the diameter of the orchestra in 42 metres. After the construction of the city wall in the middle of the fourth century AD, for which stone from the theatre was used, the theatre was left outside the walled area and fell into ruin. More and more of the stone from the theatre was take
