In Bouxwiller, the entire old town consists of half-timbered houses. Many are beautifully preserved, while others have been worn down by the ravages of time. If you walk through the streets with your eyes open, you'll discover small balconies, bay windows, and colorful paintings on the houses. The houses also still have wooden shutters, which are secured with latches. Some latches depict a man's or woman's head.

The first evidence of a brewery in Hochfelden dates back to the year 870, when a brewery belonging to the monks of the Wissembourg Abbey is mentioned in Hochhuzen, the old name of Hochfelden. In 1640, Jean Klein founded a brewery in Hochfelden on the site where the current Meteor brewery is located. Its name was Brasserie de la Couronne (Crown Brewery). In 1844, this brewery was bought by the brewer Martin Metzger from Strasbourg and later passed on to his son Alfred. His only child, daughter Marie-Louise Metzger, married Louis Haag in 1898, who came from a family of brewers who had been brewing beer in the village of Ingwiller, 20 km away, since 1795. The brewery was then called "Metzger and Haag". After the death of his father-in-law, Louis Haag took over the brewery completely, ran it with his sons Frédéric and Alfred and called it "Louis Haag, Metzger et compagnie". In 1925, the brewery was finally given the name "Meteor". The Meteor brewery was the first brewery in Europe to offer "Pils" outside the Czech Republic (with the permission of the Czech authorities). In the 1950s, the brewery continued to develop and finally exceeded the 200,000 hectoliter mark in 1966. In 1975, Michel Haag became director of the brewery, which reached the 400,000 hectoliter mark in 1990. The 500,000 hectoliter mark was exceeded in 2004. The beer is sold in France, Australia, Switzerland, Italy, Great Britain, the USA and Japan. In 2019, Meteor achieved a turnover of €47,885,400.00 with 100 to 199 employees. In 2019, the brewery opened a large beer bar Brasserie Le Meteor in Strasbourg

We visited Villa Meteor on a hot day. A nice tour at our own pace, during which we learned something. Plus a nice tasting under the parasol before the return journey by bike ;-)
