Rossmarkt Fountain (1985) – Alzey/Worms 🚴‍♂️

Highlight • Monument

Roßmarkt Fountain (1985) – Alzey/Worms ‍🚴‍♂️
In 1985, the Neustadt artist created the Rossmarkt Fountain. The horse and fountain represent a memorial to a famous son of Alzey: the legendary minstrel and knight Volker von Alzey from the Nibelungenlied. The epic describes the noble Volker as a "man of fighting prowess" who allegedly carried the banner of the Burgundian king in the campaign against Saxony. This proves that, despite being of lower nobility, he held high military rank. Fighting against the Huns, the Nibelung hero met his death in the Battle of Etzelburg near Gran. In addition to Volker von Alzey's powerful horse (a status symbol of knights), the design of the fountain bowl is also inspired by the Nibelungen saga. According to legend, Hagen von Tronje, tutor to the Burgundian king, sank the Nibelung treasure in the Rhine. Even though the historical figure of Volker von Alzey is difficult to grasp and much of the tradition is based on the Nibelungenlied, it is hard to deny that the person and the myth are still present in Alzey today. A glance at the city's coat of arms shows a minstrel's fiddle beneath the Palatine lion. The Alzey-Worms district also features the instrument in its coat of arms. 🚴‍♂️

Little Church Alzey

Highlight • Religious Site

This church dates back to 1728 and has had a historic Stumm organ since 1737, which was renovated in 1996. "Since 1997, the small church has been used by the Evangelical parish as a winter church every year from New Year's to Palm Sunday. It can be rented for events and is often used as a wedding church.” Source (partially quoted verbatim):

St. Nicholas Church – Alzey/Worms 🚴‍♂️

Highlight • Religious Site

St. Nicholas Church - Alzey/Worms 🚴‍♂️
Alzey's former St. Nicholas Church likely originated from the chapel of the royal Saalhof.
This late medieval church was built in several phases starting in the 15th century. In 1432, it was elevated to the status of a parish church in place of St. George's Church, located outside the city walls. At this time, the Elector Palatine, Frederick the Victorious, also sought to convert St. Nicholas Church into a collegiate church. This collegiate church existed from 1479 to 1566. Construction of the choir began in 1476. With the completion of the west tower (built 1485-99), it was completed in 1499. The church's furnishings date from the 15th to 18th centuries. The baptismal font is dated 1520/30 by O. Böcher. The octagonal base plate was probably also round. After the devastating town fire of 1689 (War of the Palatinate Succession), only the choir remained in use as a Reformed parish church. At the end of the 18th century, the church was briefly converted to a different purpose and served as a hospital and bakery. In the mid-19th century, the nave was rebuilt by the district architect Rhumbler. Between 1934 and 1937, the choir was re-vaulted, and the nave was stripped of its neo-Gothic character.
Today, St. Nicholas Church serves as the town's main church. Services are held in the small church only between New Year's Day and Palm Sunday. 🚴‍♂️

Alzey Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Alzeyer Castle probably emerged from a Hohenstaufen imperial castle and was expanded into a castle in the 16th century. It was destroyed in the Palatinate War of Succession in 1689 and only rebuilt by the Grand Duchy of Hesse at the beginning of the 20th century.

Cycle Path Through Vineyards and Wind Turbines in Rhenish Hesse

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

At the beginning (coming from Weinheim) and again in between, this path has perfect asphalt, but later the surface becomes very rough and is not very nice to drive on.

Heiligenblut Chapel and Tower

Highlight • Religious Site

The small chapel belonging to the Heiligenblut winery was built in 1890. Today it is used as a wine tasting room and can be rented for civil weddings and other celebrations.
Would have liked to run up the stairs, unfortunately all tours are locked all around.
