The Rebberg is a district of Mulhouse (Alsace) , the name is of German origin and comes from the time when the city still belonged to the German Empire . As part of town planning and development, Mulhouse was later divided into different sectors. The vineyard has belonged to sector 2 since then and, despite the meaning of the word, should not be confused with the Mülhausen district of Coteaux, whose name is of French origin and can be translated as "vineyards".
The vineyard is located in the south of the city on the railway line, and parts of the mountain also belong to the neighboring communities of Riedisheim and Brunstatt . It is therefore customary to differentiate which vineyard is involved, i.e. that of Mulhouse, Riedisheim or Brunstatt.
The name "Rebberg" does not refer to an earlier cultivation of vines, because this residential area, which is now occupied by villas, is located on a northern slope.
features
The vineyard is characterized by its extremely striking relief. Its high hills geomorphologically represent the northern end of the Sundgau . It towers over the rest of Mulhouse, the Ochsenfeld (potash basin) in the northeast and the Hardtwald in the east. Its surface shape was decisive in the construction of the Rhine-Rhône Canal and later along the railway line below.
The upper-class residential area emerged when the city experienced its heyday as the "French Manchester" with the boom of the Mülhausen textile industry. Even today you can find numerous mansions there, which seem to outdo each other with their architectural styles, which are characterized by different influences and architectural epochs. From 1907 to 1918 the vineyard was opened up by the Mulhouse city railway, one of the first trolleybus operators in the world.
The botanical and zoological garden of Mulhouse, which is a remarkable example of large-scale design, lies in the heart of this park landscape.
There are two metal towers on the vineyard:
- The Belvédère observation tower is 20 meters high. It is open to the public and offers a panoramic view of the region.
- The Belvedere radio tower is 194 meters high and the Mülhausen relay station of the TDF company, which was called TéléDiffusion de France until 2004.
