Origin and history

The Jewish house of Hoenheim is a historic monument located in the department of Bas-Rhin, in the Grand East. Built between the 18th and 19th centuries, it is distinguished by its architecture and community use. The building, located at 21 rue de la République, was listed as historic monuments in 1987, thereby recognizing its heritage value.

This monument houses remarkable elements, such as a Jewish ritual bath (mikvé) and a wooden baluster staircase. These characteristics illustrate the importance of this place to the local Jewish community in modern times. The official protection concerns facades, roofs, as well as these interior elements, highlighting their historical and cultural interest.

Today, the house is the property of an association, although information on its access to the public (visits, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the available sources. Its inscription in 1987 reflects the desire to preserve this heritage linked to Alsatian Jewish history, in a regional context marked by a rich cultural and religious diversity.

The building is part of a larger set of historical monuments of the Bas-Rhin, reflecting the architectural and community heritage of Alsace. Its location in Hoenheim, near Strasbourg, reinforces its anchor in a geographical and historically strategic area, between French and German influences.

Available sources (Wikipedia, Monumentum) also mention GPS coordinates and a precise address, but the location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), suggesting possible inaccuracies in current geographic data. No additional information is provided on any restoration work or on the contemporary use of the site.
