Very cool item 👍

The bell was stolen in 1613.

In the town hall square stands a replica of the historic Alzey bell. The original was cast in 1613 and probably taken to Holland during the Thirty Years' War, according to the information panel.

The Rossmarkt [Note 1], together with the neighboring Fischmarkt (Fish Market), was the city's main marketplace. Its name derives from the horse market originally held there. A watercolor by an unknown artist, dated between 1814 and 1820, offers a glimpse of the old Rossmarkt. In the first quarter of the 19th century, the Rossmarkt housed, among other things, a pharmacy, a cooper, two butcher shops, and the Sauer inn. A guesthouse with a brewery and a post office of the Thurn and Taxis postal service were also located there. As early as 1460, an inn stood on the site of today's Kaiser medical supply store. During the time of the Electors, the building was known as the "Herberge Zum Hizen" (Inn at the Sign of the Chizen), and somewhat later as the "Gasthaus Zum Hirschen" (Inn at the Sign of the Stag). In 1905, the entire square was repaved, and some houses had to relocate their staircases to the interior. Today, half-timbered houses from the 17th and 18th centuries adorn the square. At its center stands a landmark of the city since 1985: the Rossmarkt Fountain. Source: https://www.regionalgeschichte.net/rheinhessen/alzey/kulturdenkmaeler/rossmarkt-mit-brunnen.html

It is a beautiful place for the “Historic Bell.”

The former Lutheran church in Alzey was built in 1728/29. It is called the "small church" because it is rather dainty compared to Alzey's other churches. The Lutherans had to finance the construction of their church themselves because they had no share in the church's assets. The parish website. The simple, Baroque hall church still houses an organ from the renowned Hunsrück organ-building family Stumm, dating from 1737, in the gallery. At the southwest corner, there is a Romanesque base with corner spires. When St. Nicholas' Church became unusable in 1794, Alzey's Reformed congregation held its services in the small church that year. [Note 1] After the church union in 1822, the small church was initially abandoned. After being used by the Catholics for a time, it served again between 1844 and 1848 as a replacement for St. Nicholas' Church, which was being renovated at the time. In 1873, the demolition of the small church was planned, but the plan was later scrapped. Instead, the small church was equipped with heating, new galleries, and stairs, making it usable even in winter. Further renovations took place in 1930, when, among other things, a sacristy was added. In 1992, a support association was founded to promote the preservation of the church. At its initiative, further renovations were carried out in 1995/96. In 2004/05, the roof was completely replaced, and the exterior walls were plastered, restoring the original Baroque appearance of the small church.

In 1985, the Neustadt artist Professor Gernot Rumpf created the Rossmarkt Fountain. The horse and fountain represent a monument to a famous son of Alzey: the legendary minstrel and knight Volker von Alzey from the Nibelungenlied. This 13th-century epic poem has its historical core in the Burgundian kingdom of the 5th century, which counted Alzey among its centers, and describes the noble Volker as a "man full of fighting strength" who supposedly carried the banner of the Burgundian king in the campaign against Saxony. This proves that, although of lower nobility, he held a high military rank. The Nibelung hero met his death in the Battle of Etzelburg near Gran, fighting against the Huns. But Volker von Alzey was not only famous as a warrior and tournament rider; his Minnesang (courtly love song) and poetry are also mentioned in the myth. Therefore, the depiction of the coat of arms on the horse is complemented by a minstrel's fiddle on the other side. The horse itself—a status symbol of knights and nobles—is powerfully built and clearly identifiable as a draft horse, one of the heavy warhorses of the Middle Ages. Draft horses are still bred today as calm, undemanding, and very strong draft animals. Besides Volker von Alzey's horse, the design of the fountain basin is also inspired by the Nibelung saga. According to the legend, Hagen von Tronje, chamberlain 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 legend 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. ] . ...
