Mulhouse -- Turism
Mulhouse is a town and commune in eastern France close to Swiss and German border. It is the largest town in Haut-Rhin, and the second largest in Alsace after Strasbourg. Its designated local development area consists of 16 communes, but its conurbation is substantially larger than that.
The first written records of Mulhouse date from the 12th century. It was part of the southern Alsatian county of Sundgau in the Holy Roman Empire. 1354–1515 Mulhouse was part of the Décapole, an association of ten Free Imperial Cities in Alsace. 1515 the City joined the Swiss Confederation as an associate and was therefore not annexed by France 1648 like the rest of the Sundgau. It was then considered a free republic associated with the Swiss Confederation until it was annexed by France on January 4, 1798, during the French Directory period.
From 1870 to 1918, Mulhouse belonged again to the German Empire as part of the territory of Alsace-Lorraine. The city was occupied by French troops on 8 August 1914 at the start of First World War, but they were forced to withdraw two days later in the Battle of Mulhouse. As a result of World War I, Alsace-Lorraine was annexed by French in 1918. It was occupied and annexed again by Germany from 1940, until 'restored' to France at the close of the war in 1945.
The town's development was stimulated first by the expansion of the textile industry and tanning, and subsequently by chemical and engineering industries from the mid 18th century. In consequence Mulhouse has enduring links with Louisiana, from which it imported cotton, and also with the Levant. The town's history also explains why its centre is relatively small.
The Principal places of interest are: Hôtel de Ville (16th century). The town hall was built in 1553 in the Rhenish Renaissance style. Montaigne described it as a "palais magnifique et tout doré" ("a splendid palace gilded all over") in 1580. It is known for its trompe l'oeil paintings, and its pictures of allegories representing the vices and virtues.
Workers' quarter (mid 19th century), inspired by districts in Manchester; Place de la Bourse and the building of the Société Industrielle de Mulhouse, in the Nouveau Quartier (19th century); Musée National de l'Automobile de Mulhouse (featuring the Schlumpf collection); French National Railway Museum; Museum of Electricity (Electropolis); Museum of Printed Textiles (Musée de l'Impression sur Étoffes); Botanical gardens and zoo and Numerous industrial ruins.
