Weber Haus World of Living is a nice idea for a family outing on a warm or a cold day. You can visit all: museum, the playground/park and house exposition or just opt for one. The place is just 15km away and can work as a Strasbourg day trip – just pack a picnic.
Hans Weber company began in 1960 as a two-man carpentry business and within just a few years became one of Germany’s largest construction companies for single- and two-family homes.
Weber Haus got numerous awards for their innovative, sustainable, energy efficient, prefabricated wooden houses.
