Origin and history

The house at 4 rue du Maréchal-Leclerc in Surbourg (Bas-Rhin) is a civil building dating from the 1st quarter of the 18th century. It is distinguished by its gable-on-street wall, which bears an inscription engraved in Hebrew characters. This rare architectural detail bears witness to the presence or influence of a Jewish community in the region at that time.

Classified as a historical monument by decree of 21 December 1984, this house illustrates the Alsatian vernacular heritage. Its inscription specifically protects the gable wall and its sandstone, remarkable elements by their decoration and historical value. The exact location, confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, places the building in the heart of the village of Surbourg, in the department of Bas-Rhin.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, highlight its status as a protected monument, without providing more details on its history or occupants. The official address recorded in the Merimée base (4 rue du Général-Leclerc) corresponds to that indicated by GPS coordinates, although minor variations of nomenclature exist (Maréchal-Leclerc vs General-Leclerc).
