Fish market with ‘old town hall’

Until the end of the 18th century, fish sold by fishermen from the Old Rhine were the main commodity traded at the fish market, alongside other goods. As numerous official warnings show, they fulfilled this obligation inadequately and reluctantly.

The square is dominated by the city's former town hall with its striking polygonal stair tower. Today, it houses a carillon with a figure of ‘Volker von Alzey’. The Renaissance building itself was constructed in 1586 using stones from the demolished Weidas monastery. In the immediate and wider vicinity of Rheinhessen, Alzey Town Hall, whose models can be found in the important town halls of Marburg and Rothenburg o.T., stands out as unique.
