The Mainz City Marshals see themselves as ambassadors of the Meenzer Fassenacht. As representatives of various Mainz carnival groups, they work together to preserve carnival traditions, attend events, and are particularly committed to supporting the next generation of carnival enthusiasts. The focus is not on any single group, but on what unites them all: their love for Mainz Carnival.

Furthermore, the Mainz City Marshals represent the mayor at events such as the presentation of the Mainz City Order.

The “College of City Marshals,” formed in 1992, represents the Mainz carnival groups and their interests exceptionally well; meets regularly several times a year to discuss current issues related to Mainz Carnival with the incumbent mayor, makes its own suggestions for improvement, and has the right to nominate successors when City Marshals step down. 

The Mainz City Marshals provide particular support for the Mainz Youth Carnival and have founded the “Mainzer Jugendmaskenzug” support association for this purpose.
