The Rossmarkt is the hub of Alzey and is the vital, pulsating heart of the town.
The Rossmarkt is Alzey's ‘hub’ and thus also the lively, vibrant heart of the town. Together with the adjacent fish market, it was probably the town's actual ‘market square’. Its name derives from a horse market that was held here in earlier times. Today, the square is dominated by the Rossmarktbrunnen fountain, created in 1985 by Neustadt artist Gernot Rumpf.
The lavishly proportioned horse of the minstrel and knight Volker von Alzey, standing at the fountain trough, invites children in particular to swing themselves into the saddle and have their photo taken. In addition, the two decorative half-timbered houses from the 17th and early 18th centuries, which stand on the gable side of the square, give the square its appealing character.
