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. 🚴‍♂️

The atmosphere at the Roßmarkt fountain in Alzey is wonderfully relaxed. I bought an ice cream for my niece Hellena, and her happy laughter mixes with the rippling water of the fountain. As she plays with her little brother Konstantin and happily romps around the fountain, the tranquility of the square fills the air.

It is a beautiful sight to see the two children full of joy for life, while I pause for a moment to soak up the idyll. The fountain, surrounded by the historic buildings, seems to be the perfect place to enjoy time and appreciate life's little moments of happiness. A simple but precious experience!
