The citadel was expanded from 1655 onwards as an addition to the city's fortifications. From up here on Jakobsberg hill, there is also a beautiful panoramic view over Mainz as far as the Taunus mountains.

The Mainz Citadel is located on Jakobsberg hill on the edge of the present-day old town and in the immediate vicinity of the Römisches Theater train station. The fortress was built in its current form around 1660 and was part of the Mainz fortress. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zitadelle_Mainz

In the 1960s, the citadel housed the commercial vocational school of the city of Mainz until it moved to the new building on the Hartenberg. Today the citadel belongs to the city of Mainz and houses numerous municipal offices.
