Of particular importance is the Mainz Gutenberg Monument from 1837, which is considered the first civic monument in the full sense of the word, as it elevated a commoner to the monument base and was inspired and supported by the middle class. The history of the creation of the Gutenberg Monument in Mainz, from the first proposal to commemorate the city's most famous son in the form of a monument to its execution, spans almost half a century.
