For ten years now, he has been offering Gutenberg costume tours to convey history in a lively way.

As part of a scientific project, clothing typical of the 15th century was being tailored and he was allowed to pose as the project manager at the time. It was only afterwards, he says, that he had the bright idea: \"A costume draws special attention, and that's how I came to implement this for my guided tours for guests.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Velvet and silk<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Authenticity is particularly important to the historian. \"You have to be careful when you make a costume like this,\" the tour guide points out. Beforehand, he had extensively researched how patricians once dressed, because Johannes Gutenberg was one such patrician. High-quality materials such as natural silk and heavy velvet, puffy sleeves with \"strange slits\" and distinctive beaked shoes are all part of his ensemble. \"Everyone thinks the shoes are particularly chic,\" he notes with amusement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-lettern-scaled-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-lettern-scaled-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-lettern-scaled-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-lettern-scaled-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-lettern-scaled-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-lettern-scaled-1-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-lettern-scaled-1.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I quickly realize that Elmar Rettinger has a gift for packaging concentrated historical knowledge into exciting facts. For example, when he talks about the muted colors of his robe. Garish clothing was reserved exclusively for the nobility and purple for the clergy. Of course, he doesn't wear a watch during his city tours either; after all, it has to be authentic. \"But if the guests are interested and ask questions, then you don't look at the watch at all. Then it's just fun to tell them something,\" he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-druckerpresse-scaled-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-druckerpresse-scaled-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-druckerpresse-scaled-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-druckerpresse-scaled-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-druckerpresse-scaled-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-druckerpresse-scaled-1-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-druckerpresse-scaled-1.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Of the cherry orchard and eating cherries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And he likes to tell: \"I want to inform about the time back then. Who was the boss in the city, what were the social conditions like, and why was Mainz so heavily in debt?\" Of course, his tours also revolve around the life and work of Johannes Gutenberg himself. Elmar Rettinger takes his groups to all the places associated with him. He starts here at the Gutenberg Museum - with a demonstration of the printing press, of course - and leads once completely through the old town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-museum-scaled-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-museum-scaled-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-museum-scaled-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-museum-scaled-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-museum-scaled-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-museum-scaled-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Both professionally and privately, the tour guide especially loves Mainz's squares. And the old trading city has many of them. Be it the four lively cathedral squares, the central Schillerplatz or the beautiful Kirschgarten with its historic half-timbered houses, some of which have been preserved from Gutenberg's time. \"It's the squares in Mainz that make this city so charming,\" Elmar Rettinger enthuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-kirschgarten-scaled-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Gutenberg\" class=\"wp-image-5310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-kirschgarten-scaled-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-kirschgarten-scaled-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-kirschgarten-scaled-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-kirschgarten-scaled-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-kirschgarten-scaled-1-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mainz-gutenberg-kirschgarten-scaled-1.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>During our conversation about Johannes Gutenberg, he repeatedly lapses into the first person. He has to laugh when he notices this and assures me that he already knows that he is not the real thing: \"I am a very calm guy and Johannes Gutenberg was probably a very irascible person, very different.\" Very little is known about him, he said, and what little is known is mainly from court records. \"He was not at all easy to deal with, and maybe that's what attracts me to the role,\" the tour guide admits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The double Gutenberg<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>But the costumed Elmar Rettinger never gets angry like his alter ego, because he actually doesn't feel all that different in the heavy coat. In Mainz, wearing a costume is no problem at all, he notes with a shrug. On the contrary: \"The people of Mainz are the most <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Shrovetide (opens in new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rheinhessen.de\/mainzer-fastnacht\" target=\"_blank\">Shrovetide<\/a> used to here.\" Again and again, he is even pleased about warm greetings and big, amazed children's eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The participants of two groups were certainly astonished when they suddenly saw double one fine day. The tour guide had to laugh when he told me his favorite anecdote. A colleague also had a costume and on that day two Johannes Gutenbergs happened to run into each other. He pauses for a moment. Maybe he should think about going to Strasbourg, because that's where the printer lived for a few years. But he quickly shakes his head: \"They probably already have their own Gutenberg.\" So Elmar Rettinger will be staying in Mainz for a long time to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your Gutenberg costume tour through Mainz<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the exciting Gutenberg costume tour, which you can find on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mainz-tourismus.com\/stadtfuehrungen\/gruppenfuehrungen\/kostuemfuehrungen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this page<\/a> Elmar Rettinger also covers many of the topics that <a aria-label=\"more city tours (opens in new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mainz-tourismus.com\/stadtfuehrungen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more city tours<\/a> from Roman times through the National Socialist era to the present day.
