Origin and history

The house at 2 rue du Haut-Koenigsburg in Bergheim is an emblematic building of Alsatian architectural heritage. Built during the first quarter of the 17th century, it illustrates the techniques and style of the period, with characteristic facades and roofs. This building was listed as historic monuments by order of 13 June 1929, thus recognizing its heritage value.

The location of this house in the historic centre of Bergheim reflects the importance of this city in the Upper Rhine region. At that time Bergheim was a dynamic village, marked by commercial and craft activities. The houses of that time often served as a place of life and work for bourgeois or merchant families, playing a central role in local social and economic life.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm that the facades and roof of this house have been protected for nearly a century. The exact address, initially recorded as 2, formerly market place, has evolved over time, reflecting the urban changes of Bergheim. Today, it is known under number 28, place of Dr.Pierre Walter, although the official references retain the historic address.
