h4. History
Mainz represents a planned "light cruiser" variant of the [i]Admiral Hipper[/i] class heavy cruisers. Like the [i]Mogami[/i] class cruisers, they were intended to be armed with light cruiser calibre guns to prevent suspicion during Nazi Germany's naval rearmament in the mid-1930s. 

Initially, [[Weser (Azur Lane)|Seydlitz]] and [[Tallinn (Azur Lane)|Lützow]] were intended to be constructed to these specifications, however in 1936 the Kriegsmarine decided to finish these two ships with their intended 20.3 cm guns.

h4. Personality
Portrayed in Azur Lane as part of the Ironblood faction, Mainz is mild-mannered and eager to do her duty for the fleet, and is relentless in her devotion to coffee.
