On the occasion of the awarding of the Gutenberg Medal by Mayor Michael Ebling of Mainz , he accompanied the Advent readings of children's book author Helga Höfle in the City History Museum . Ebling mentioned in this context: "The fact that we are half Spaniards here in Mainz - at least in our hearts - is not only due to our long-term city partnership with Valencia , but above all to a Mainz guitarist who has been delighting us with Spanish music for half a century." With a twinkle in his eye, Lohnes also recognized the commitment to efforts to preserve the memory of old Mainz.

In 2011 the Mainz Forum-Theater wrote “ Unterhaus ”: “Whenever there was a real crash between the 'Poli (t) zisten' and there was ' Not am Mann ' in the basement on Gutenbergplatz , the Unterhaus chronicle reads:' First guest appearances by artist friends were the solution. ' Then of course he was there: Manolo Lohnes, whom the local people had met at Waldeck Castle . If you open an ancient Waldeck program, you will find the following: Hans-Herbert Lohnes, born in Freiburg / Breisgau in 1943, law student in Frankfurt / Main. Hans-Herbert becomes Manolo, the boy, who only started to learn the guitar at the age of 16, becomes the exception in the republic, a monopoly in the field of Central European Flamenco, a German 'Spaniard', the grandiose, with technical Precision, rhythmic empathy and immense feeling, (flamenco) playing guitar, composing, arranging.
