[edit] At or near

Is the confluence at Mainz or near Mainz? Rich Farmbrough 15:16, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It is opposite Mainz.

The funny thing is, it was once within the Mainz city limits, but in 1945, the city was split in two halves administratively, and Mainz was reduced to the neighborhoods on the left bank of the Rhine, the right bank and the last miles of the river Main fell to other communities. So, today, the confluence of the river Main is right opposite the historic city center, but outside the city limits. --Magadan (?!) 10:50, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] river length

The info box states the river length is 500 something kms, but the text claims more than 1000. (The river's mouth is 1000 kilometers away from the junction with the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal).
