Alzey, District capital in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

The town of Alzey lies at the heart of the wine region Rheinhessen, with the Selz River flowing beneath parts of its territory at 194 meters elevation.

The settlement dates back to 223 AD, marked by a Nymphenstein altar stone, and received official town status from Rudolf von Habsburg in 1277.

The medieval character of Alzey connects to the Nibelungenlied, featuring the character Volker von Alzey and a dragon symbol in its coat of arms.

Regular train connections and road networks link Alzey to major cities like Mainz and Worms, making it a central transportation hub in Rhineland-Palatinate.

The Wartbergturm observation tower provides views over the Alzey Hills and surrounding vineyards that produce wines in Germany's driest wine-growing region.
