Mainz (in German: Mainz [maɪ̯nt͡s]; in French: Mayence; in Latin: Moguntiacum) is the capital of the German federated state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is a city located in the southwest of Germany, on the banks of the Rhine River, on the opposite bank to the mouth of the Main, making it an important river port of Germany. On the opposite shore is the city of Wiesbaden, in the state of Hesse.
Noted for being the place where Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing of mobile characters. Currently Mainz has once again become the center of the media, as it houses the headquarters of the ZDF, the second most important channel of the German television media.
