History
Founded in 304, the see of Mainz (Latin: Diœcesis Moguntina, German: Bistum Mainz), known historically in English as Mentz and by its French name Mayence, was raised in 780 to the Metropolitan Archbishopric of Mainz and returned to the rank of bishopric in 1802. Today it is a suffragan diocese within the ecclesiastical province of the metropolitan Archdiocese of Freiburg, its territory lying across Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse. The diocesan seat is the Mainz cathedral dedicated to Saints Martin and Stephen.
