Travel Information
Schloss Waldthausen is located just outside Mainz, in a nature reserve, but still easily reached:
- 4 km to Autobahn A60 (AS Heidesheim)
- 8 km to Mainz Central Station, with a public bus running every 30 minutes/ 1hr Sundays
- 40 km to Frankfurt Airport.
Schloss Waldthausen was built between 1908 and 1910 for an industrialist from Essen, Martin Wilhelm von Waldthausen. The style of the building (Historicism) is typical for the era, the late phase of the German Emperordom. The complex was lavishly furnished and there were many side buildings and grounds, but the builder never really lived there, as he moved to Switzerland with the beginning of the First World War, never to come back.
After the death of the last proprietor in 1940, the villa was used by the Nazi Welfare to accommodate mothers and children during the 2nd World War.
After the end of the war, the building was used by the French occupying troups, then by the German army. In 1982 the building was sold to a bank, the “Sparkassen und Giroverband Rheinland Pfalz”, which has since used it as an educational centre. The parks and gardens are open to the public, and the villa is often used to host events, concerts, lectures and exhibitions.
