history

After a well-developed Roman road to Gaul, along with Roman villas, existed early on , it was not until the 10th century that major clearings were made to create settlements. Archbishop Willigis (approx. 940-1011), builder of the cathedral and St. Stephen's Church in Mainz, had a chapel built in Marienborn , which became a destination for pilgrims from 1317 . The image of grace of the "comforter of the afflicted" dates from around 1420/30. Marienborn's early traditional names are Brunnon , Burne and Born ( mhd. "Source"). In the middle of the 17th century the name Mariäborn is mentioned for the first time , in 1685 Marienborn .

Pilgrimage Church of St. Stephan, April 2017

From 1729 the village church was built with a baroque interior and consecrated on August 31, 1760 by Auxiliary Bishop Christoph Nebel .

In the 18th and 19th centuries, Marienborn was part of the fortress wall around Mainz . Thanks to its location at the foot of the Rhine-Hessian plateau , the place was ideally suited as a military headquarters ; so also in 1793 with the siege and recapture of the French-occupied Mainz by a Prussian army. Duke Karl August von Weimar , whose troops were also at Marienborn at the time, had brought his Minister of State Johann Wolfgang von Goethe with him, who watched the fighting for the city from May 27th to June 26th. Around thirty years later, he wrote down his experiences in a diary style during the "Siege of Mainz". The young Heinrich von Kleist and the Prussian general and war theorist Carl von Clausewitz also stayed in Marienborn that year.

On June 7, 1969, Marienborn was incorporated into the state capital Mainz with five other suburbs .
