MAINZ UNIVERSITY FUND FOUNDATION
MAINZ UNIVERSITY FUND FOUNDATIONA stroke of luck for the university
The Mainz University Fund Foundation was created in 1781. Since then it has survived not only the closure of the original electoral university by Napoleon, but also both world wars. The foundation's capital is invested in rental apartments and property, but primarily in attractive agricultural land and vineyards. These days, the revenues from the fund provide an important resource that helps support research and teaching at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU).
