CoRéal Flea Market (Halle au Coton) of Wittenheim

A flea market under the Halle au Coton, an industrial symbol of Wittenheim

The CoRéal Flea Market is held under and around the Halle au Coton in Wittenheim, an emblematic building closely linked to the city's industrial history. Organized by the CoRéal Social Centre, this outdoor event welcomes private sellers who offer clothing, toys, books, crockery, furniture and all kinds of objects. The CoRéal Flea Market is much more than a simple flea market: it is a social bonding event rooted in the social centre's mission.

Wittenheim, between industrial memory and contemporary dynamism

Wittenheim bears in its architecture the traces of its past linked to the Alsace Potash Mines (MDPA), an industry that shaped the city throughout the 20th century. Today a residential and commercial city of around 17,000 inhabitants, Wittenheim has a rich associative fabric, of which the CoRéal Social Centre is one of the pillars.
