Here on Liebfrauenplatz in front of Mainz Cathedral there is a true-to-scale cast bronze tactile model. It makes the famous building tangible, in the literal sense, especially for blind and visually impaired people!

Cathedral to touchA bronze model of Mainz Cathedral stands on Liebfrauenplatz, close to the original. It is true to scale and has Braille. The Westphalian sculptor Egbert Broerken created the "Cathedral to touch". The Mainz Citizens' Foundation initiated and financed the 30th anniversary of the cathedral.

Mainz Cathedral (975) – Mainz

St. Martin's Cathedral stands directly on the market square. Built in 975, it has experienced many fires, destruction, and reconstructions over the centuries. In addition to the archbishops' tombstones, the Romanesque St. Gotthard Chapel and the late Gothic cloister are particularly noteworthy. The chapter buildings and the cloister now house the Cathedral and Diocesan Museum, featuring works of art from two millennia of Mainz's history. 🚴‍♂️
