Je vous avais d\u00e9j\u00e0 entretenu de la pr\u00e9sence importante d\u2019une forme de paternalisme social en Alsace et \u00e0 Strasbourg, et c\u2019est \u00e0 lire ici<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.
\nA Strasbourg, de la fin du 19\u00e8me si\u00e8cle au premier tiers du 20\u00e8me si\u00e8cle environ, le logement social a privil\u00e9gi\u00e9 les maisonnettes plut\u00f4t que les grands ensemble d\u2019immeubles. L\u2019une des plus fameuses exceptions est \u00ab la cit\u00e9 Spach \u00bb, du nom de l\u2019ancien secr\u00e9taire g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de la mairie de Strasbourg de 1842 \u00e0 1883, Gustave Louis Spach –prononcer [<\/strong><\/em>\u0283paR]<\/em><\/strong>-, qui a surv\u00e9cu \u00e0 tous les changements de r\u00e9gime et\/ou de nationalit\u00e9 ! D\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 en 1895, il l\u00e9gua \u00e0 la ville de Strasbourg l\u2019ensemble de ses biens, estim\u00e9 \u00e0 environ 1 million de marks de l\u2019\u00e9poque –soit environ 8,5 millions d\u2019euros en 2026<\/i>-, sous r\u00e9serve que cela profite aux employ\u00e9s municipaux les plus modestes et \u00e0 leurs proches.
\nLa cit\u00e9 Spach<\/b> fut ainsi construite, \u00e0 partir de 1898, \u00e0 l\u2019extr\u00e9mit\u00e9 sud-est de la Neustadt<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. Elle est constitu\u00e9e de 11 immeubles align\u00e9s, hauts de 3 \u00e9tages, et ornement\u00e9s de lucarnes pignons et d\u2019oriels<\/strong><\/span><\/a> sur les angles, marquant ainsi la volont\u00e9 de rappeler certaines constructions de la Renaissance alsacienne, typique de la Strassburger Bauschule –\u00e9cole architecturale de Strasbourg, 16\u00e8me si\u00e8cle<\/i>-. Elle regroupait un ensemble de 4 commerces et 96 logements de 1 \u00e0 3 pi\u00e8ces, auxquels on a adjoint, dans la cour de l\u2019ensemble, une buanderie, des s\u00e9choirs et des jardins am\u00e9nag\u00e9s, ainsi que des bains collectifs.<\/p>\n

Par sa construction, la cit\u00e9 Spach visait \u00e0 mettre Strasbourg \u00ab\u00a0\u00e0 \u00e9galit\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb avec d’autres villes allemandes en mati\u00e8re de \u00ab\u00a0standing\u00a0\u00bb, d’autant que le Kaiser Guillaume voulait faire de la ville une vitrine glorifiant le rattachement de l’Alsace \u00e0 l’Allemagne. Les plans furent confi\u00e9s \u00e0 l’architecte Karl Ott, chef du service municipal d’architecture. Celui-ci s’inspira assez largement des pr\u00e9ceptes de l’universit\u00e9 technique de Karlsruhe<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0–la ville o\u00f9 j’ai perdu ma voiture<\/strong><\/span><\/a> un soir d’ao\u00fbt\u00a0!<\/em>-.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLa vocations socio-\u00e9ducative de cette cit\u00e9 est \u00e9galement affirm\u00e9e par la mise en place d\u2019un syst\u00e8me de pr\u00eats d\u2019ouvrages issus de biblioth\u00e8que populaire, de cours du soir et d\u2019une pharmacie de premiers secours. En bonnes mesures paternalistes, des concours de fleurissement de balcon sont organis\u00e9s et des r\u00e9ductions de loyers sont accord\u00e9es aux locataires \u00ab soucieux de la bonne tenue de l\u2019appartement \u00bb.<\/p>\n

La cit\u00e9 Spach connut rapidement un fort succ\u00e8s et les logements furent rapidement occup\u00e9s : en 1907, 57 familles \u00e9taient inscrites sur une liste d’attente pour y obtenir un logement. Lors du retour de l’Alsace \u00e0 la France en 1918, les autorit\u00e9 fran\u00e7aises furent tr\u00e8s impressionn\u00e9es par la qualit\u00e9 du b\u00e2ti et par le niveau de confort et d’\u00e9quipements de ces logements ouvriers, alors tr\u00e8s rare en \u00ab\u00a0France de l’int\u00e9rieur\u00a0\u00bb.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
