Gutenberg did not invent printing but he invented movable type. That means they could set up a page and print it 100 or 200 times. Then use the same characters to print another page. It was revolutionary.

I used to operate a Heidelberg Press in print shop, back in high school in the mid 70's.

My Family is from there! The Guttenberg Museum is very interesting. Theree are also Workshops to use The old presses. Stay right next door at The Zum Schwan. That place was built in The 1500's. A great place to stay.
