The City History Museum shows extracts from the city's rich history, from its Roman roots as a legionary camp to the state capital today. After the beginnings of the show collection in the Haus zum Stein, the collections focusing on the social, economic and cultural history have been presented in the Citadel monument zone since 2003. The numbers of visitors to the first two permanent exhibitions, "Magenza - 1000 Years of Jewish Mainz" and on economic and working life in Mainz over the last two centuries, speak for themselves. The "Cella honoraria" for the founder of the Roman legionary camp, Drusus, whose monument is located in the direct vicinity of the Museum, is new.
