History From roman times to the middle ages, Mainz was the region's first city, by population and as the home of the Holy Roman Empire's leading archbishop. The Free Imperial City of Frankfurt later passed Mainz in size and importance, becoming one of Central Europe's most important cities for more than 700 years without interruption. Besides being an international trade center, Frankfurt was the election and coronation site for the German emperors. The republican city-state was surrounded by many small pricipalities, of which Hesse-Darmstadt and Nassau were the most important. In the 19th century, Frankfurt was the capital of the German Confederation and the seat of the revolutionary Frankfurt Parliament. In 1866, the city and most of its neighbors were annexed by Prussia. Since 1945, most of the region is part of the state of Hesse. During World War II, Frankfurt lost its large and influental jewish community to the holocaust genocide, and its famous historical city center to allied bombings. In the post-war period, Frankfurt became the de-facto capital of West Germany. Due to massive suburbanization, the region's cities almost grew together, forming a kind of a Rhine-Main megacity today.

People As Mainz used to be one of Roman Germany's urban centers, the list of the region's celebrities starts almost 2000 years ago. Medieval Mainz was the home of Johann Gutenberg, whose invention in printing technology marks Europe's first step into Information society. Polymath Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is considered to be Frankfurt's greatest son. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the city was home to important scientists as Otto Hahn or Paul Ehrlich and thinkers as Arthur Schopenhauer and those affiliated with the Frankfurt School. Many important inhabitants of both cities emerged from their lively jewish communities, from Rabbi Gershom ben Judah over the Rothschild banking dynasty to famous Nazi victim Anne Frank.
