Quatzenheim is a town Alsatian, located in the Bas-Rhin, it has about 710 inhabitants. Its inhabitants are called the Quatzenheimois (es) and its coat of arms features a lion leopard wearing a golden crown, it evokes the arms of a noble family of the village.
Understand
The site of the village has been occupied for a very long time as evidenced by the discovery of a mammoth skeleton, Neolithic tombs and hut bottoms, a treasure of Roman coins and, in 1957, two Merovingian tombs. The locality bears the name of Chatenheim in the 18th century, Qwaczenheim in 1215 and Quaczenheim in 1371.
The Mullenheim Castle, built at the beginning of the 14th century, was destroyed and dismantled in 1674 during the fighting between Turenne and the imperialists. The Reformation was introduced in Quatzenheim by the Landsbergs in 1539 and the village had an Israelite cemetery from the end of the 18th century as well as a synagogue at the beginning of the 19th century.

The Protestant Church
Former chapel of the castle, the church, with a 15th century Gothic choir, was assigned to Protestant Lutheran worship in 1539 and destroyed in 1729 by lightning. The lords of Oberkirch then rebuilt the building, whose wooden bell tower is covered with slate.
The Freysz farm
Located on the main street, this large horseshoe-shaped farmhouse around a closed courtyard includes a dwelling house from before the Thirty Years' War, except for a part added in 1803, which sometimes housed a post office. Sculptures representing fleur-de-lis were partially suppressed during the Revolution. A balcony was added in 1976, as was the sign "Aux Deux Clés". The outbuildings, which date from 1828, include a cellar with arched frames and a long gallery accessible by a double staircase.
Jewish cemetery
It is located on the road to Wiwersheim and has more than a hundred graves with inscriptions in Hebrew. Quatzenheim is the only municipality in the canton to have a Jewish cemetery.
Town Hall-School
After Alsace joined the German Reich in 1871, the new authorities built imposing administrative buildings in small rural towns and cities. The style of this building therefore differs from that of the traditional constructions of the village. It includes an office for the town hall, a single classroom and official accommodation for the town hall secretary-teacher. A war memorial surmounted by the Gallic rooster was installed after the First World War near the town hall. During the Occupation in 1940, this rooster was removed and the monument, which kept the memory of soldiers who had fallen in German uniform, was destroyed.
The old tram station
Two tram lines served the Kochersberg region from Strasbourg, that of Truchtersheim, from 1887 to 1953 and that of Westhoffen from 1903 to 1953. After 1953, this tram station was bought by a private individual and transformed into a house of dwelling.
