Little funny sidenote: On the sign in front of the building (in the photo) is the address of the company. It translates to "At the goldmine" ;-)

That is funny, but so it's clear, it's the name of the street...nothing specific to BioNTech.
Maybe the name was chosen specifically for that area when they were trying to attract startup companies?
Not really. It's on of the older streets in Mainz, and is named like this as far as I can think back (I'm 41). It might have to do something with "Rheingold", but I couldn't find an explanation for the name, and google is not helpful with so many articles about Biontech and the name of the street.
Hard to say. There's a homeless shelter across the street, which is a bit ironic.
