Known by nicknames such as 'Die Nullfünfer' (the 05ers) and 'Karnevalsverein' (Carnival club), Mainz embraces its identity as one of Germany's three foremost carnival cities. This cultural connection is evident in the tradition of playing the 'Narrhallamarsch' (a carnival tune) after every home goal at their MEWA Arena. The club maintains strong community ties through various social activities and its charity organization 'Mainz 05 hilft e.V.' Local rivalries include those with Eintracht Frankfurt and Kaiserslautern.
