LU: invites people to discover archaeology on Fuststraße

FULLY BOOKED!

It is not just the archaeologists at the Rhineland-Palatinate General Directorate for Cultural Heritage (GDKE) who are unable to resist ‘the LU:RE of Mainz treasures’. Since the start of the year, they have been unearthing many a relic from the Middle Ages and the Roman period on the construction site for the new LU: complex. Many members of the public are also regularly using the LU: container on Bischofsplatz to get an idea of the progress of the archaeological excavations.

Now the LU: project developers – J. Molitor Immobilien GmbH, Sparkasse Rhein-Nahe and St Martin’s Cathedral as project partners for the building section on Fuststraße – together with the GDKE, invite you to take part in a special inner-city experience. On Friday, 8 September 2023, from 1 to 6 p.m., those who are attracted to ‘the LU:RE of Mainz treasure’ can spend the afternoon on the construction site on Bischofsplatz.

The archaeologists from the GDKE will present selected finds from the Middle Ages and Roman period and give groups a guided tour of the excavation site. Anyone who is similarly unable to resist the ‘LU:RE of Mainz treasures’ and wishes to take part will need to register. If you are interested in the event, please send an email, stating your preferred time, to: event@lu-erleben.de. Places for the guided tours are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
