Restaurtant “Heilig Geist”

The Holy Spirit Hospital in Mainz was a charitable medieval hospital foundation for the care of the elderly, the poor and the sick, based on the model of Santo Spirito in Sassia in Rome. The late Romanesque hospital building originally dates back to 1236, making it the oldest community hospital in Germany and one of the oldest hospital buildings in Europe. From 1804 it was used as a warehouse building, correctional institution for young women and a gymnasium, since 1863 it has served as a restaurant until today.
