always / at all times
An elevated or somewhat old-fashioned expression for 'immer' (always) or 'zu jeder Zeit' (at any time). It is often used in formal wishes or fixed expressions.
Wir wünschen Ihnen allzeit gute Fahrt und eine sichere Ankunft.
We wish you safe travels at all times and a safe arrival.
The word 'allzeit' is a compound of 'all' (all) and 'Zeit' (time). It literally means 'at all times' and is a more formal variant of 'immer' (always).
Der Kapitän wünschte der Besatzung allzeit eine Handbreit Wasser unter dem Kiel.
The captain wished the crew always a hand's breadth of water under the keel.
'Allzeit' is used almost exclusively in elevated written language or in formal, often ceremonial contexts. In normal everyday conversation, it sounds old-fashioned or unnatural.
Die Ritter schworen, dem König allzeit treu zu dienen.
The knights swore to serve the king faithfully at all times.
This adverb is often part of fixed wishes or idioms. Typical examples are 'allzeit gute Fahrt' (safe travels at all times) or the Scout motto 'allzeit bereit' (always prepared).
Zum Abschied wünschten sie uns „allzeit gute Fahrt“.
As we said goodbye, they wished us 'allzeit gute Fahrt' (safe travels at all times).
always
Immer and allzeit can mean that something applies at all times. Immer is the neutral, everyday choice, while allzeit sounds elevated, old-fashioned, or like part of a set formula expressing a wish. Use immer in normal conversation and allzeit only when this special tone is appropriate.
Ich werde dich allzeit unterstützen.
I will always support you.
Ich werde dich immer unterstützen.
I will always support you.
