Mainz was founded around 20 BC by the Romans under the name “Mogontiacum” as a military camp. Today's capital of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate forms a metropolitan area with Wiesbaden, the neighboring capital of Hesse, with a combined population of around 500,000.<br />
 <br />
The &quot;Republic of Mainz&quot;, a product of the French Revolution, was the first democratic state on German territory. The state was represented in Paris by the well-known naturalist Georg Forster, who had been in the Pacific with Captain Cook as a boy. The Mainz Republic ended after only five months in July 1793 following the conquest of the city by Prussian and Austrian troops. Georg Forster died in Paris in 1794.<br />
 <br />
The State Museum is one of the oldest museums in Germany. Its origins lie in a collection of 36 paintings that Napoleon gifted to the city of Mainz in 1803 to establish an art gallery.<br />
 <br />
Today the Landesmuseum has extensive art and cultural history collections, ranging from prehistory to modern art.<br />

<p>Neben der Ahrtalbahn ging zum Fahrplanwechsel am 14. Dezember 2025 auch die etwas weiter nördlich gelegene Erfttalbahn von Euskirchen nach Bad Münstereifel wieder in Betrieb. Allerdings erfolgte der Wiederaufbau nach der Flutkatastrophe an der Erft mit deutlich weniger Priorität als an der Ahr, mehrfach wurde der Inbetriebnahmetermin verschoben und die Elektrifizierung der 14 km langen Nebenbahn soll vsl. erst bis Ende 2028 abgeschlossen sein.<br />
<br />
Im Zuge der Wiederaufbauarbeiten erhielt der betrieblich schon lange nicht mehr als Bahnhof geltende Streckenendpunkt in Bad Münstereifel eine Aufwertung in Form einer kombinierten Bahn-/Bussteigüberdachung. Zur blauen Stunde schickt sich 620 037/537 an die Kurstadt in Richtung Bonn zu verlassen.</p>

Dziś za oknem temperatura odczuwalna może spaść nawet do -30°C. . By choć na chwilę zapomnieć o przenikliwym zimnie, matematycznie wyciągniemy wartość bezwzględną tej temperatury i przeniesiemy się do północnej Bawarii. W tamtą majówkę, tego dnia temperatura osiągała w słońcu +30 stopni, a bezwietrzny dzień potęgował panujący upał. W tych warunkach powstała taka oto klatka. <br />
<br />

Today behind window perceived temperature can drop to as low as -30°C. For one moment to forgot about piercing cold, we will mathematically calculate the absolute value of this temperature and move to northern Bavaria. On 2nd May, the temperature reached +30 degrees in the sun and the windless day intensified the prevailing heat. In these conditions I made seen photo.<br />
<br />
