TABLE OF CONTENT

Mulhouse has created quite a stir in the Alsatian land-scape. The city is proud of its Alsatian culture, to which it associates its own distinct character. A character that has been forged by textiles printing, mechanics… and the arts!

INDUSTRIAL, YES, BUT SO MUCH MORE...The Golden Age of Mulhouse industry has not only left a legacy of beautiful textiles and the prestigious cars in its museums. There are many testimonies to its industrial saga: some are more obvious, like the worker’s housing estate (the first in France) or the Nouveau Quartier (New District). Others are rather more unexpected: the Hasenrain hospital, the beautiful villas of the Rebberg district and even the zoological and botanical park.

Since the end of its period of industrial glory, Mulhouse has continued to innovate and develop its know-how. For example, an exclusive Christmas fabric is created each year to dress the city’s Christmas market. And it is here that France’s first tram-train has been in operation since 2010.

The creativity of Mulhouse does not stop there: the city that was once called the French Manchester has suc-ceeded in the reconversion of its industrial buildings. It is thus that a part of the University of Haute-Alsace and a comtemporany art center have taken residence in the old foundry.

Like any true Alsatian, Mulhouse loves good food. Food lovers are spoilt for choice: Winstubs, Michelin-starred restaurants, creative establishments… and the Canal Couvert market. As you can easily imagine from all the culinary products from around the world that you will find here, Mulhouse is a cosmopolitan city. With its 136 different nationalities and proximity with Germany and Switzerland, Mulhouse offers a fertile breeding ground for discoveries and the rapprochement of cultures.

Let it be known, Mulhouse is a curiosity that is well worth the trip!

MULHOUSE, CITY OF ART AND HISTORYThe rich history of Mulhouse is revealed in its highly- varied architecture: during a stroll through the city you can admire Renaissance-style buildings, industrial buildings and original buildings like the Annular Building or the Tour de l’Europe, whose triangular shape symbo-lises the Rhine crossroads that links France, Switzerland and Germany.

The quality of its heritage and development was rec-ognised in 2008 by the award of the City of Art and History label and confirmed in May 2016 with the opening of the Heritage House.

Mulhouse certainly is a city of art and you will find all types of artistic expression in its streets: dance, music, street art, painting - even on the walls! The arts are even to be found on former industrial brownfield sites thanks to the La Filature - Scène nationale performing arts cen-tre or the MOTOCO collective. The city is proud of its art-ists: every year it calls on a local talent to create a sculp-ture that will enhance one of the city’s numerous parks. Even the tram stations have an artistic touch here!

TRY MULHOUSE !Over the years, Mulhouse has met many challenges and has constantly reinvented itself. Even today, the former City-State continues to cultivate its singularity by proudly affirming its heritage and originality. Whether you are a lover of mechanics or beautiful fabrics, a culture buff, food lover or passionate about nature, this unique city will surprise you. So, dare to try Mulhouse!

MINER NEIGHBOURHOODSThe Potash Route is punctuated by miner neighbourhoods. Build near the mine shafts, the neighbourhoods are distinguished by their unique architectural style. Along the route, you’ll learn about the different lodgings, recreational equipment and organisation that make these neighbourhoods symbols of social progress.

OTTMARSHEIM ABBEY CHURCHLocated on the Romanesque Road of Alsace, the Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in Ottmarsheim is a fine example of 11th century Romanesque architecture. Built between 1030 and 1040 by Rudolf of Altenburg, one of the founders of the Habsburg family, it was consecrated in 1049 by the Alsatian Pope Leo IX. Its octagonal structure, echoing the palatine chapel of Aix-la-Chapelle, makes it a unique example of Alsace’s religious architecture.

To enable visitors to discover the abbey church in its finest details and fully appreciate its splendour, the Information Point offers throughout the year classic or dramatised guided tours. For one hour, the guide will unveil its hidden treasures and recount the legends of this remarkable monument.

CHRISTMAS FABRIC

Every year, the city of Mulhouse creates a new exclusive fabric pattern by commissioning a local designer to make a new design. Called “Ode boreale” in 2016, it decorated the city hall and the cabins at the Christmas market and was displayed in the streets of the historic city centre. Each year, it is used in artisanal table and kitchen linen (napkins, tablecloths, table sets, aprons), produced locally and given the specific label of “Alsace terre textile”. For six years, the fabric has also been entrusted to local designers who use it as the base for their inspirations. The result is a unique collection of accessories, clothes and festive decorations.

THE CHRISTMAS MARKET OF MULHOUSE

Christmas in Mulhouse is a magical, authentic moment where traditions come alive at the Christmas market in the heart of the city centre. The Christmas market stands out as unique by tipping its hat to the city’s rich textile heritage and honouring its fabrics each year.

www.etoffeeries.fr

THE LAND OF CAROLS AND FABRICS

Mulhouse is also the capital of the Land of Carols and Fabrics, which stretches from the foot of the Ballon des Vosges to the Alsatian Jura. It forms one of the seven Christmas lands which make up Alsace, each with its own specificities. It is based on the textile tradition, deeply rooted in the territory, and on the presence of numerous choirs and musical ensembles. Alsace’s first choir was founded in Mulhouse!

To ensure this tradition is perpetuated, the region’s tourist offices organise various textile workshops including the “Textile Minute”, a short and original workshop, enabling visitors to create a postcard with fabrics, designed by a different local illustrator each year.

MYSTERIES’ NIGHT

France’s second museum city after Paris, Mulhouse certainly deserves its own event to mark the Museums at Night festival! For one night, Mulhouse and its 10 museums are transformed into a playground for a treasure hunt. With an atmosphere unlike any other and a different theme each year, you will take part in a major investigation with clues to solve while at the same time discovering some exceptional collections. A unique experience in France and in Europe! In 2016, it attracted more than 30,000 visitors.

MULHOUSE CARNIVAL

The carnival is an ancient Rhineland tradition, rooted deeply in the heart and spirit of the people of Mulhouse. Waggis, costumed characters with large smiles, messy hair and enormous red noses, parade down the streets to the music of costumed Guggamusik groups. Among the highlights of this event is the children’s carnival and the costume contest, the international cavalcade in the streets of the centre city with floats that have satirical decorations referring to major local or national events. www.carnaval-mulhouse.com

New in 2017: The Carnival Village which brings together member organisations and the partners of the Mulhouse Carnival to offer many activities, such as games stands and exhibitions. When? Saturday 4 March 2017 from 9:00 am to 6 pm (or even 10 pm). Where? Place des Cordiers (subject to change).

MULHOUSE’S ONION FESTIVAL

The Onion Festival in Mulhouse is a time to meet up and celebrate friendship, to show the city’s joie de vivre and to take the time to honour the region, its cultural heritage and its traditions. In the market set up for the occasion on Place de la Réunion, in the heart of the city centre, you can enjoy onions prepared in all different manners: soups, sausages, preserves, tartars, “tarte flambée” savoury pastries… Alsatian folklore groups also perform for the event.
