History The street name "Am Judensand" indicates the use of parts of the later area in the borough from the Middle Ages on. Here are burial places of the Jewish community. The old Jewish cemetery on the border between Hartenberg-Münchfeld and Mainz-Neustadt has been preserved until today; the oldest gravestone dates back to the 11th century. The memorial stone of Gershom ben Judah, who died in 1028 or 1040, is located here. In the early 19th century, probably more than a thousand people were buried in a mass grave on the territory of the present borough. The mass grave was discovered in autumn 2018 during construction work for a shooting range. According to initial estimates, it could have been German and French soldiers who had fallen victim to an epidemic. Survivors of the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, who had fled to Mainz, had brought the so-called Typhus de Mayence into the city. At least 16292 men of the French occupation and 2485 inhabitants of Mainz died during this time. Due to the importance of Mainz as a fortified city, the "Hartenberg" also had a military function. Those who controlled it could fire from there to the city centre of Mainz. When the town was extended, a new rampart was built around it, the Rheingauwall. It was built in the Neo-Prussian style of fortification and enclosed parts of what is now the district. Several forts have been partially preserved, such as Fort Hauptstein, the Cavalier Prince Holstein, Fort Hartmühl in Hartenberg Park north of the water features
