La Ferme Pierre

Un peu d’histoire locale…

Le nom de Donnenheim est mentionné pour la première fois au VIIème siècle en tant que possession de l’abbaye de Wissembourg. Pour l’abbaye, une “villa” est une petite entité administrative dirigée par un intendant qui organise les paysans et les activités agricoles de la ferme. Wissembourg étant situé sur la route du sel allant en Lorraine, Donnenheim, outre ses services corvéables, aurait été à l’aube du XIIème siècle une des stations relais d’hommes et de chevaux qui transportaient le sel de Lorraine vers l’abbaye. 

Pour la petite histoire, une charte de la commanderie de l’Ordre des Templiers, datée de 1243, mentionne une grande ferme située au nord-est du village, exploitée par les Templiers et la population de Donnenheim.

Ce XIIe siècle a également vu, outre un essor économique patent, une forte “flambée monastique” des ordres cisterciens qui se développent considérablement sous la férule de Bernard de Clairvaux. Dans notre région, plus l’influence des Templiers diminue, plus la place de cisterciens augmente.

Le fameux Moulin des Moines de Krautwiller (aujourd’hui producteur de farine d’épeautre et épicerie de produits biologiques) en est un vestige, ainsi que l’Etablissement de Santé d’Alsace du Nord à Brumath, et la magnifique chapelle de Hohatzenheim, datant du XIIème siècle.

Le bâtiment de La Ferme Pierre*** tel qu’il subsiste en partie aujourd’hui a quant à lui été bâti en 1796 au cœur de Donnenheim, réputé alors pour sa culture du chanvre et du houblon. A cette époque la ferme était un vaste domaine agricole autonome, avec potager, cochons, lapins, poules et vaches. Les propriétaires avaient souvent des employés qui logeaient sur place.

Une partie du domaine, au niveau de l’entrée actuelle était réservée au séchage du houblon, puis plus tard au tabac.

C’est en 2005 que cette ferme familiale alors en partie vétuste a été entièrement réaménagée et agencée en 5 meublés de tourisme tout confort, tout en préservant une partie de son âme pour promouvoir le patrimoine local alsacien.

La Ferme Pierre

A little local history …

The name of Donnenheim is mentioned for the first time in the 7th century as a possession of the abbey of Wissembourg. For the abbey, a “villa” is a small administrative entity directed by a steward who organizes the peasants and the agricultural activities of the farm. Wissembourg being located on the road of salt going to Lorraine, Donnenheim, in addition to its corvable services, would have been at the dawn of the 12th century one of the relay stations of men and horses which transported salt from Lorraine to the abbey.

For the record, a charter of the commandery of the Order of the Templars, dated 1243, mentions a large farm located northeast of the village, operated by the Templars and the population of Donnenheim.

This 12th century also saw, in addition to an obvious economic boom, a strong “monastic outbreak” of the Cistercian orders which developed considerably under the rule of Bernard de Clairvaux. In our region, the more the influence of the Templars diminishes, the more the place of Cistercians increases.

The famous Moulin des Moines de Krautwiller (today a producer of spelled flour and a grocery store for organic products) is a vestige, as well as the Alsace North Health Establishment in Brumath, and the magnificent chapel of Hohatzenheim, dating from the 12th century.

The building of La Ferme Pierre *** as it remains in part today was built in 1796 in the heart of Donnenheim, then renowned for its cultivation of hemp and hops. At that time the farm was a vast autonomous agricultural domain, with vegetable garden, pigs, rabbits, chickens and cows. The owners often had employees staying on site.

Part of the estate, at the level of the current entrance, was used for drying hops, then later for tobacco.

It was in 2005 that this then partly dilapidated family farm was completely refurbished and arranged into 5 fully-equipped tourist accommodation, while preserving part of its soul to promote the local Alsatian heritage.
