The village (currently 4900 inhabitants) was mainly built along the old Mulhouse-Basel national road. At the beginning of the 17th century, there were a dozen inns. Until the 1950s, the horse-drawn carriages of the market gardeners from the Saint-Louis-Sierentz region used to pass through here very early in the morning on their way to sell their fruit, vegetables and poultry at the Mulhouse market.
