The Rhine-Main Metropolitan Region
Located in the heart of Europe and hosting Germany’s largest airport, the Rhine-Main Metropolitan Region offers unparalleled connectivity. With a unique blend of rich cultural heritage and a thriving international community, our location provides an ideal environment for both scientific and personal discovery.
Frankfurt
Frankfurt is one of Germany’s most international cities, often ranked as highly livable and easy to navigate, even for those who don’t speak German. With 37 museums, 20 theaters (including the English Theatre and International Theatre), and a vibrant arts scene, there’s always something to explore. While renowned for its impressive skyline, Frankfurt’s riverbanks, numerous parks, and the surrounding “green belt” add a refreshing contrast of natural beauty to its modern cityscape.

Mainz
Just 30 minutes by train from Frankfurt, Mainz is a historic and accessible city that warmly welcomes international residents. Its lively old town, Roman landmarks, and famous “Fastnacht” carnival make it a culturally rich destination. As the heart of Germany’s largest wine-growing region, Rheinhessen, Mainz offers scenic landscapes and plenty to explore along the beautiful Rhine.
