Two times, at the beginning and at the end of his life (K. 594) W.A. Mozart travelled to Frankfurt, probably also visiting Offenbach, where later his musical remains had been published. The Cities Bonn, Koblenz and Mainz were welcome destinations during the extensive trip through Western Europe, whereas Kirchheimbolanden gained importance because of Mozart's travels to Mannheim and Paris.
