Origin and history

The hotel in Saint-Avold is a civil building dating from the 1st quarter of the 18th century. This building, typical of the residential architecture of the period, is distinguished by its facade and roof, which were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 10 June 1937. Its exact address, 36-38 rue du Général-Hirschauer, places the monument in the historic heart of the city, in the Moselle department, in the Grand Est region.

The location of the Hotel, although documented, is considered to be of poor accuracy (level 5 out of 10), reflecting the limitations of the geographical data available for some ancient monuments. Saint-Avold, a Lorrain city integrated into the East, was at this time a crossroads of cultural and economic influences, where private hotels showed the social status of their owners. These urban residences often served as a place of representation for local elites, while contributing to the beautification of city centres.

No additional information is provided on the original owners, architects or major events related to this hotel. Available sources (Monumentum, Merimée database) are limited to descriptive and administrative data, without details of its precise historical use or occupants. The protection of 1937, however, underscores its heritage interest, typical of the policies of preservation of the twentieth century in France.
