Where did Johannes Gutenberg set up his press?

Hi,

According to several sources, while living in Strasburg, Germany Gutenberg started the creation of the printing press however; it was not until he moved back to his hometown of Maniz, Germany that he was able to completely set up his first printing press in 1444.

1. This first source from Idea Finder provides a detailed timeline of facts about Gutenberg and the printing press. http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventions/printpress.htm . I was able to locate this source by using http://www.google.com. In the search box I typed in the term "Johannes Gutenberg press" and received several results including this specific one. If you look below the timeline you will find additional useful information to support this answer.

2. I was able to locate this next source through a google search using the search term "printing press invention and Gutenberg." The author also supports the fact of Gutenberg setting up the printing press in Maniz. If you look at the bottom of this webpage you will find citations to some very good resources.

3. I also wanted to recommend this last resource from infoplease which is an educational website that is part of the Pearson Company. If you follow this link http://www.infoplease.com it will lead to you their homepage. In the search box type in the term "Johannes Gutenberg." From the result list select the link titled "Maniz" in order to access the following page which has the information you need.
