    Impressive building

    Peter Schöffer (Petrus Schoiffer) (* around 1425 in Gernsheim; † around 1503 in Mainz) was one of the first booksellers and publishers in the age of printing. He improved Johannes Gutenberg's invention of printing with movable type and played a significant role in its economic and technological triumph at the beginning of the modern era

      Peter Schöffer was born in Gernsheim in 1425. He went down in history as the first book publisher and Gutenberg's employee. He died in Mainz in 1503.

      Behind the Schöffer monument is the museum of the Schöffer town of Gernsheim. It was built around 1830 as a moated castle.
