August 20: Mainz, Heidelberg, and Worms

Welcome to Mainz, Germany's oldest city, dating back to Roman times.


Mainz fits into the Luther story only peripherally, but it is the home of Johann Gutenberg.

For his printing press, Gutenberg simply used a wine press.


This gentleman from our group got a great souvenir: the page of the Bible from the Gospel of John that he printed!
