Hautepierre, Strasbourg — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Hautepierre is a planned residential district on the western side of Strasbourg, in the Grand Est region. It grew up as a large post-war housing quarter, laid out around wide public spaces rather than a medieval core. Big municipal venues anchor it: the piscine de Hautepierre and the patinoire Iceberg sit within its bounds, and the Zénith de Strasbourg arena rises just off its western edge. The mood is functional and green.
About Hautepierre
Where to stay in Hautepierre
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Few tourists base themselves in Hautepierre, and beds here are limited. The draw is practical: it sits beside the Zénith de Strasbourg and the patinoire Iceberg, which makes it handy for anyone in town for a concert or a match. After dark the streets fall quiet.
Most visitors stay nearer the medieval old town for sightseeing and come out here mainly for an event. If you want space, sports venues, and simple parking over historic lanes, it repays a look.
About Hautepierre
What are the main landmarks in Hautepierre?
Sport sets the tone. The piscine de Hautepierre and the patinoire Iceberg form the leisure core, joined by a Vélodrome and the playing fields of the ensemble sportif Sud. Just west, in Eckbolsheim, the Zénith de Strasbourg pulls the largest crowds.
Modern parish churches serve the quarter. Among them are église Saint-Florent, église Saint-Sauveur, and, on the southern flank in Koenigshoffen, the Église Saint-Paul de Koenigshoffen.
What is the history of Hautepierre?
Hautepierre belongs to the modern chapter of Strasbourg's growth, not its medieval past. The quarter was laid out in the twentieth century as a planned housing zone on open land at the city's western edge. Its churches reflect that late arrival.
Parishes such as église Saint-Florent and église Saint-Sauveur are modern foundations rather than medieval survivals of an older village. Older Koenigshoffen, just to the south, carries the deeper past.
Where is Hautepierre?
The district occupies Strasbourg's western fringe, well back from the medieval old town. Cronenbourg adjoins it to the east, Koenigshoffen lies to the south, and the commune of Eckbolsheim runs along its western side. Schiltigheim sits just to the north. Its own parish church, église Saint-Florent, marks the residential heart.
