Great rest stop on the bike path for several people. A little tip: very close by, at the Enders fruit farm, there are vending machines selling regional products; one of them has delicious ice cream (about 200 meters towards Albisheim).

The former Lutheran church in Alzey was built in 1728/29. It is called the "small church" because it is rather dainty compared to Alzey's other churches. The Lutherans had to finance the construction of their church themselves because they had no share in the church's assets. The parish website. The simple, Baroque hall church still houses an organ from the renowned Hunsrück organ-building family Stumm, dating from 1737, in the gallery. At the southwest corner, there is a Romanesque base with corner spires. When St. Nicholas' Church became unusable in 1794, Alzey's Reformed congregation held its services in the small church that year. [Note 1] After the church union in 1822, the small church was initially abandoned. After being used by the Catholics for a time, it served again between 1844 and 1848 as a replacement for St. Nicholas' Church, which was being renovated at the time. In 1873, the demolition of the small church was planned, but the plan was later scrapped. Instead, the small church was equipped with heating, new galleries, and stairs, making it usable even in winter. Further renovations took place in 1930, when, among other things, a sacristy was added. In 1992, a support association was founded to promote the preservation of the church. At its initiative, further renovations were carried out in 1995/96. In 2004/05, the roof was completely replaced, and the exterior walls were plastered, restoring the original Baroque appearance of the small church.
