history
From 1798 to 1814 the areas to the left of the Rhine belonged to France , and from 1816 to the Grand Duchy of Hesse as part of the province of Rheinhessen . This was initially divided into 11 cantons that went back to the system of the French administration. Together with the provinces of Upper Hesse and Starkenburg , it represented the Grand Duchy of Hesse.
The Hessian province of Rheinhessen was divided into the four districts of Alzey, Bingen , Mainz and Worms by the grand ducal Hessian ordinance of February 5, 1835 . The Alzey district was created from the cantons of Alzey and Wörrstadt .
District councilor in the Alzey district was Friedrich Müller from 1835 to 1848, and District Secretary Friedrich Pietsch.
As a result of the March Revolution , the Alzey district was incorporated into the Mainz administrative district from 1848 to 1850 (which included all of Rheinhessen) and from 1850 to 1852 together with the Worms district by ordinance of May 14, 1850 (not implemented until September 16, 1850) in the Worms administrative district .
By edict of May 12, 1852, Rheinhessen was now divided into five districts, in addition to the districts of Bingen, Mainz, Oppenheim and Worms, a new, smaller district of Alzey was formed from the area of the justice districts of Alzey and Wöllstein (but without Wörrstadt ). In 1852 it comprised a total of 50 towns and 37,474 inhabitants. In 1914 the 50 towns already had 40,957 inhabitants. The area of the district was 31,184 hectares.
The division of the province of Rheinhessen into five districts (Alzey, Bingen, Mainz, Worms and Oppenheim), created in 1852, survived the transition from the Grand Duchy to the People's State of Hesse in 1918/19 and lasted for more than six decades. During the Nazi era , the provinces of Starkenburg, Upper Hesse and Rheinhessen were dissolved in 1937.
A radical territorial reform followed, which came into force on November 1, 1938. In Rheinhessen the district of Oppenheim was dissolved, from which the communities Armsheim , Bechtolsheim , Biebelnheim , Ensheim , Gabsheim , Gau-Bickelheim , Gau-Weinheim , Nieder-Saulheim , Ober-Saulheim , Partenheim , Rommersheim , Schimsheim , Schornsheim , Spiesheim , Sulzheim , Udenheim , Vendersheim , Wallertheim , Wolfsheim and Woerrstadt the Alzey were annexed. In addition, the communities Blödesheim (today Hochborn), Eppelsheim , Hangen-Weisheim and Ober-Flörsheim from the Worms district were added. In return, the Alzey district had to hand over the greater part of the former canton of Wöllstein to the Bingen district , namely the communities Badenheim , Biebelsheim , Bosenheim , Hackenheim , Ippesheim , Pfaffen-Schwabenheim , Planig , Pleitersheim , Sankt Johann , Sprendlingen , Volxheim , Welgesheim and Zotzenheim . At the same time, the district also received the new official name of the Alzey district .
The Alzey district became part of Rhineland-Palatinate in the Rheinhessen administrative district in 1946 and existed until the administrative reform of 1969 . At the time of its dissolution, it comprised 60 communities with 63,582 inhabitants and a total area of 41,778 hectares.
When the district was dissolved on June 7, 1969, the communities of Frei-Laubersheim , Fürfeld , Neu-Bamberg and Tiefenthal were incorporated into the Bad Kreuznach district. The remaining district area was merged with the district of Worms to form the new district of Alzey-Worms .
