Alzey-Worms district
Alzey-Worms district, Rural district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
Located between the Rhine River and Alzey Hills, the district encompasses farmlands, forests, and natural reserves across 588 square kilometers of varied terrain.
The territory emerged from Roman military camps, later becoming part of the Electorate of the Palatinate before its formal establishment as a district in 1969.
The district's coat of arms incorporates a dragon from Worms and a fiddle from Alzey, representing elements from the medieval Nibelungenlied epic poem.
The district maintains strong transportation connections to neighboring regions, with the town of Alzey serving as the administrative center at 179 meters elevation.
The western section features gentle brooks and forests, earning the name Rheinhessische Schweiz due to its natural landscape characteristics.
