Life and work are closely intertwined in Mombach. The northern part of Mombach is one of the most important industrial and commercial locations in Mainz. Well-known companies such as Riga, Valentin, and Prefere Paraform are based here and benefit from the proximity to the highway, city center, and industrial port on the Rhine.

However, traditional fruit and vegetable growing still plays an important role. Despite the extensive residential areas, fields, gardens, and the "Mainzer Sand" nature reserve, which is of supra-regional geo-ecological and botanical importance, still bear witness to this other, non-industrial side of Mombach. The banks of the Rhine in Mainz, with its nature reserve and many water sports clubs, invite visitors to linger. The old town center, surrounded by a village

wall in the Kurmainz era, has an almost village-like character. Here you can still find some of the houses and farms that were once typical of Mombach. Many buildings were destroyed during World War II, including the Catholic Church of St. Nicholas. However, its three bells were miraculously preserved and are now located in the bell tower built in 2010 next to the St. Nicholas Church, which was rebuilt in 1955. From here, an idyllic path leads through the nature reserve, across the fields to the Mombach Forest Cemetery.

Residents of Mombach appreciate the district's excellent infrastructure: kindergartens and schools, numerous sports facilities and tennis courts, as well as the outdoor and indoor swimming pools at Großer Sand are located in the immediate vicinity of the residential areas. In addition to retail stores in the town center and the weekly market held on Thursdays in front of the local administration office, there are also large DIY stores and supermarkets on the outskirts of the town. The people of

Mombach are characterized by their strong sense of community – thanks in no small part to the numerous carnival and sports clubs based here. Whether it's the Schissmelle Tuesday parade, the Dämmerschoppen in the shadow of the "Fraa Bohnebeitel" at the local administration office, or the Rhine Bank Festival on the third weekend in August – the people of Mombach know how to celebrate and revive old traditions!

Culture lovers will also find plenty to enjoy: Hall 45 (opens in a new tab) (formerly the Phönixhalle) hosts concerts and other events. In addition, the Bohnebeitel carnival session, broadcast annually by SWR, is known far beyond the city limits. The dialect theater "Hannebambel" and the local history museum are also worth a visit. Mombach was first mentioned in documents in 1218. However, archaeological excavations show that the area was already settled in prehistoric times and that the town was probably founded in the Frankish period. The population has grown from 400 inhabitants in the 17th century to almost 14,000 today.
