On February 28, 2026, a fire broke out at the Maison citoyenne, a community-based third place in Neudorf managed by volunteers for the benefit of local associations and collectives. The building, a traditional Alsatian house with a timber frame and clay walls, suffered significant damage in the blaze. Despite the destruction, the association responsible for managing the Maison citoyenne is now preparing to reconstruct the building. The Maison citoyenne had long served as a hub for local activities, offering space for meetings, events, and social gatherings. Its role in the community made the fire particularly impactful, but the volunteer-run organization remains determined to restore the facility. The building's unique construction, common in the Alsace region, presented both challenges and opportunities for the reconstruction efforts. To support the rebuilding process, the association has organized a support evening on Saturday, October 3, at the Fossé-des-Treize cultural and social center. This event aims to raise funds and provide an update on the ongoing construction work. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the plans for the Maison citoyenne’s future and how they can contribute to its revival. The Fossé-des-Treize itself is a well-known community space in Neudorf, often used for cultural and social events. Hosting the support evening there underscores the importance of community solidarity in times of crisis. The event is expected to draw locals and supporters from across the region, highlighting the shared commitment to preserving the Maison citoyenne as a vital part of Neudorf’s social fabric.
