A melting pot of artists

Soultz has given birth to and has welcomed artists whose reputations reach beyond our boundaries.

A wonderful example of a line of artists from Soultz is the Beltz family*. Tobie, born in 1711, was the first well-known artist of the family. He made the windvane for Saint-Maurice’s church*. But the most famous family member is certainly the fantasy illustrator Robert Beltz*

The more contemporary artists are: Delouche, the painter and graphic designer Georges Karleskind, Mattauch, satirical illustrator, Gérard Meyer, painter in watercolours or even Louis Wiederkehr (an expert in local history who wrote the historical part of this internet portal) who restored, inter alia, the chancel of Saint-Maurice’s church and of Notre Dame of Thierenbach*.

In addition to our well-known artists, an artist lies dormant in every inhabitant as the spring exhibition of amateur artists shows (if need be).

Our associations

Maybe from as early as 667 Soultz has always had a particularly active community life in the field of culture, arts, sport and rescue thanks to exemplary town management with its logistical and financial support, encouragement and participation and the development of training areas and meeting places. « La Vosgienne* », our gymnastics society is the second oldest in France alongside “Musique de le Ville”, also one of the oldest.

Community life is very varied, well organized and intense; there are 80 associations for 7146 inhabitants! Amongst them the 36 most representative and important ones boast 4000 members. Their umbrella organization is the OMECAS*.

Browse through the exhaustive list of these associations* and the links to their details and if, by chance, you do not find what you are looking for, why not create your own association?
