Communauté de Communes de la Région de Guebwiller

About Communauté de Communes de la Région de Guebwiller

The Communauté de Communes de la Région de Guebwiller (CCRG) comprises 19 communes and nearly 40,000 inhabitants. Created in 2001, succeeding the SIVOM (1962) and the District (1996), it has a wide range of responsibilities: economic development, spatial planning, housing, drinking water and sanitation, waste collection and management, early childhood services, tourism, sustainable development, heritage, mobility... The CCRG benefits from a privileged and strategic geographical location: halfway between Colmar and Mulhouse and their TGV stations, at the crossroads of RD 83 and 430, 30 minutes from Basel-Mulhouse Freiburg international airport, near the Rhine ports of Mulhouse-Rhin and Colmar/Neuf-Brisach, and close to Switzerland and Germany. The rich history of this territory has given rise to significant heritage, which, combined with the generosity of nature, makes it a pleasant living environment for both residents and tourists. From Romanesque art to wine-growing heritage and industrial heritage, the heritage of the Guebwiller Region is very diverse. This richness led to the "Pays d’art et d’histoire" (Land of Art and History) label in 2004 by the Ministry of Culture and Communication.
