International Shellac Symposium in Mainz (ISSM) 2023

Why Mainz

Mainz as venue has several reasons: On one side, shellac has played in past a huge importance in this town for the production of furniture. Therefore, Mainz was a major place where shellac was processed for almost 150 years. The venue is the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, which is among the big 15 universities in Germany and located close to Frankfurt Airport – the largest airport hub in Germany. Mainz itself is a lovely town with a history dating back more than 2000 years which can be easily seen by many ancient remains, e.g. the Roman theatre.
