Boofzheim

Boofzheim covers approximately twelve square kilometers in the Bas-Rhin department, housing around one thousand three hundred eighty-one residents amid agricultural landscapes crossed by the Muhlbach de Gerstheim stream and the Trulygraben waterway in northeastern France.

The Church of Saint-Étienne in Boofzheim, dating from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, stands as testimony to the rich religious heritage of this commune that held strategic importance during Franco-German conflicts due to its proximity to the Euro-Rhenish border.

The local population, known as Boofzheimois and Boofzheimoises, has maintained agricultural traditions since medieval times, particularly viticulture and dairy production, helping preserve the rural identity and traditional craftsmanship of the Alsatian region through generations.

The town hall located at five Place de la Mairie handles all civil administrative procedures while two primary schools serve the commune, providing local families with convenient access to educational services and administrative assistance within their community.

Boofzheim produces regional specialties recognized by Protected Geographical Indication labels including Alsatian fresh cream, local honey, and artisanal pasta, showcasing the viticultural and agricultural enterprises that form the economic foundation of this Alsatian commune.
