A musical and historical video and an extraordinary walk through Mainz are the new videos in our series on musical cities from Roman grandeur to UNESCO heritage, which we publish on the Alvioljel channel. Glossary of historical vocabulary, etc.: CHAGALL STAINED GLASS WINDOWS - works by the world-famous artist Marc Chagall, which adorn cathedrals and buildings in Europe, Israel, and the USA. HYPOCAUST - an open space under the floor that allowed hot air from the furnace to enter the rooms. Numerous brick pillars served as supports, allowing the air flow to continue. DRUSUS - an ancient Roman general, to whom Roman soldiers erected a monument in the 1st century CE. The Drusus Stone presumably had a marble facing, parts of which were dismantled for the construction of houses. CASTRA - a fortified military camp of the Roman army. KÄSTRICH (the name comes from the word "castra") is a hill in Mainz that was used by both Roman legions and entrepreneurs (a brewery). Three architects later designed an unusual residential complex on its site, with arches that allow convenient passage from one part of the house to another. *Interesting fact: elements of an ancient Roman gate, accidentally unearthed during construction, remain in the courtyard of the house. FRIGIDARIUM - a cold-water pool in Roman baths. Remains of its roof, found in Mainz, testify to the existence of indoor baths on the hill where windmills once stood. Saint Boniface - the first Archbishop of Mainz, who spread Christianity throughout Germany. ELECTORS - princes who had the right to elect the emperor. There were seven electors in total: three spiritual electors—the archbishops of Mainz, Cologne, and Trier—and four secular electors. Mainz was the spiritual center of the Holy Roman Empire, so the Archbishop of Mainz was the most important of the electors and held elections. MAINZ CITADEL - a fortress from the 16th and 17th centuries, usually built on the highest point of a city for defense. FASTNACHT - a traditional carnival in German-speaking countries, dating back to the Middle Ages, featuring costumed processions, music, and satirical performances about power. NAIL KNIGHT - a wooden knight figurine into which people hammered nails after making a donation. HERITAGE SHUM is an acronym for the Hebrew names of the cities of Speyer, Worms, and Mainz—the most important centers of Jewish culture in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
