The "Psychiatry Working Group under National Socialism in Alzey" began in 1994 to come to terms with what happened to patients during the National Socialist era . A warning board names 453 Alzeyer patients who perished as a result of "euthanasia".
For the 100th anniversary in 2008, a 140-page commemorative publication was published.

particularities
The chapel of the state hospital from 1908 is a design by the Darmstadt Art Nouveau architect Alexander Beer .
