Discover Breuschwickersheim

Breuschwickersheim offers several specific points of interest to help you plan a stay: the Sainte-Marie Lutheran church and its architectural history, the flax and madder drying house on Rue Principale, and the gingerbread trail at the Messti. There is also a connection via CTBR route 240 and a cycling tour along the Bruche. If you are looking for a hotel, these themes can help you decide whether church history, the character of the village street, or a tour through the village streets should be the focus of your stay.

Travel on CTBR route 240

CTBR route 240 serves Breuschwickersheim and connects it with Scharrachbergheim, Osthoffen and Strasbourg. If you plan to use this route for your journey, check the current timetable before travelling. This lets you factor the connection into your travel plans before deciding on your journey.

The Sainte-Marie Lutheran church

Several distinct dates can be identified in the architectural and parish history of Sainte-Marie Lutheran church. The base of the tower dates from the 13th or 14th century; a parish is documented from 1369. The building has been used by the Lutheran parish since the 16th century. The nave was rebuilt in 1718, higher than its predecessor. These details concern different aspects: the dating of the tower base, evidence of a parish, and the structural alteration of the nave. The year 1718 refers to the rebuilding of the nave, not to a single construction period for the entire building.

Flax and madder on Rue Principale

The flax and madder drying house at 24 Rue Principale has a different construction and use history. According to historical research, the first flax drying house at this address is thought to have been built in 1627. At the beginning of the 19th century, the building was rebuilt to dry madder. The flax and madder drying house also served as a dye works. The 1627 date remains an estimate. Unlike the church, the focus here is on the earlier use for drying and dyeing, while the parish history and nave shape the architectural history of Sainte-Marie.

Village street and Muhlbach

The RM45 is the village’s Rue Principale. Traditional farmhouses and agricultural farmsteads line most of both sides of this street in Breuschwickersheim. Rue Principale can therefore be understood not only through the individual drying house at number 24, but also through the building types found predominantly on both sides of the street. The Muhlbach stream, which runs through the municipality of Breuschwickersheim, offers a different point of reference. The street and stream reflect different aspects of the village: agricultural buildings along a road and a named landscape feature within the municipality.

Messti and cycling tour

The Messti features a gingerbread trail through the village streets. If the Messti is important to your travel dates, check the event dates in advance. Another way to include Breuschwickersheim in your travel plans is the “Sortie à vélo autour de Strasbourg” cycling tour. The description, updated on 10 June 2025, follows the Bruche to Hangenbieten first, then on to Breuschwickersheim. The two tours differ in their format: the gingerbread trail is part of the Messti and goes through the village streets; the cycling tour follows a route along the Bruche, with Hangenbieten and Breuschwickersheim as consecutive stops.
