Anyone who crosses the Theodor Heuss Bridge into Mainz will immediately notice: the striking, sandstone-red Electoral Palace, which is 75 meters long on the Rhine front. It is as if the city wanted to show its visitors the highlight of its history - its heyday as an electoral residence.

The palace is uniquely influenced by the German late Renaissance. In the immediate vicinity are the former Teutonic Order House and the New Armory. It stands out from these two late Baroque buildings with the virtuoso formal language of its façade.
