The Kirschgarten is a square with half-timbered buildings in the old town of Mainz. Cultural features are parallel lines of half-timbered houses that are connected by the alley along the "Weihergarten".

The square already existed in 1329 as "im Kirschgarten". The name comes from the spring "Kirschborn", which arose there at the old Rochus Hospital. It was part of the settlement expansion of Nova Civitas in the 13th and 14th centuries and was quite densely populated, as the Swedish plan of 1625/26 shows. At the end of the 16th century, Johann Albinus ran a printing press founded by Friedrich Hewmann (Heumann) in the house "zum Sewlöffel" (Saulöffel) in the Kirschgarten.[1]

Initially, the Kirschgarten was a closed square that only opened up to the then Augustinergasse by about the width of a house. It belonged to the immunity of the Mainz cathedral chapter.[2] The architecture of the houses dates from the 15th to 18th centuries. The alley now known as "Kirschgarten" was called "the little Schöffergasse" in the 16th century. During the French administration at the time of the consulate and the First Empire, the square was referred to in the city map as Jardin des cerisiers. The lower part of the Kirschgartengasse was only expanded to the current square at the end of the 18th century. In the process, a connection to Schönbornstraße was created. From 1976 to 1979 it was extensively renovated, and the half-timbering was also exposed.

The heart of Mainz's old town on Augustinerstraße between the cathedral and Holzstraße. There are many types of restaurants and small shops here in a historical setting.
Pizza Pepe is cult, where the show is part of the meal.
