Augustinerkirche, Mainz

[1] The builders were Augustinian hermits, who had already built the predecessor building and whose fraternity endured from 1260 to the Imperial Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803.

After the secularization of the monastery in 1803, the building ensemble became a seminary comprising a church of the diocese of the newly created bishopric in 1805.

The wing of the monastery complex has a beautiful portal with figures, which also come from Nikolas Binterim, after the façade of the church itself.

The altars are according to the Rococo style, but the late construction of the church is illustrated here in that the echoes of Classicism can be found.

The furnishing makes a very rich impression through the large altars and the ceiling paintings created by Johann Baptist Enderle in 1772.
