This article appears in Volume V01, Page 776 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ALM-ANC
ALZEY , a town of Germany, in the grand duchy of Hesse-
Darmstadt
 , 18 m. S. of Mainz by
rail
 . Pop. (1900) 6893. There are a Roman Catholic and two
Protestant
  churches, several high-grade schools and a teachers'
seminary
 . Alzey has
industries
  of dyeing and weaving, breweries, and does a considerable
trade
  in wine. It is immortalized in the Nibelungenlied in the person of " Volker von Alzeie," the warrior who in the last
part
  of the epic plays a
part
  second only to that of
Hagen
 , and who " was called the minstrel (spilman) because he could
fiddle
 ." It became an imperial city in 1277. In 162o it was sacked by the Spaniards and in 1689 burnt by the French. Annexed to France during the Napoleonic wars, it passed in 1815 to the grand-duchy of Hesse-
Darmstadt
 .
