of Eichhoffen who did not have a church until 1865. Between 1777 and 1780 the chapel was built to meet the demand of communicants who regularly attended church. The dead from Eichoffen were buried in the cemetery next to the church. Many ancient graves in the cemetery are therefore not those of the inhabitants of Andlau but Eichhoffen. After several years of entanglements between Andlau and Eichhoffen, the Catholics of Eichhoffen decided to build their own church. The construction of the chapel is the result of several transformations. The steeple of the chapel is octagonal. In the medieval choir there are murals dating from the 15th century. In the cemetery, which is next to the chapel, Commander Marx Cromer (Kremmer) raised, at his cost, the wall that surrounds the chapel between 1495 and 1537. The Saint-André Chapel owes much to generous donors. In 1896 it was restored thanks to Dr. Stoltz. At the end of the 20th century shoring and drainage works were done to avoid the collapse of the wall that faces the road. During the renovation in 1974-1975 skylights were built in the belfry then removed. For a long time processions stopped in front of the chapel as well as at the shrines that were en route. A number of items in the church are registered as historical monuments: The main Altar (1700) 2 Altars, 2 Retables, 2 Paintings (1776) A Mural Painting: Annunciation, Ascending to Calvary, Arrest of Christ (14th century) 2 Altars, 2 banks of altar seating, 2 Retables, 2 Paintings (1776) An Altar, altar seating, Tabernacle (18th century) A Cross: Christ on the Cross (18th century) A Painting: Saint André (18th century) A Pulpit (18th century) A Tomb for Charles Rouge (1916) Cemetery Cross: Christ on the Cross (2) (1832) Cemetery Cross: Christ on the Cross (1) (1832) Notable people linked to the commune Peter Hemmel of Andlau, painter in glass, German, born in Andlau around 1420/1425 Francois-Thiebaud Rothfuchs, columnist, born 13 April 1645 at Andlau and died in 1690 Jean-Louis Stoltz, (1777-1869), a military doctor in the time of Napoleon I and renowned ampelographist Philippe Christophe Hallez, born 30 April 1778 at Haguenau, died 18 November 1842 at Andlau, military man and French politician from the 19th century Alexis Stoltz, (1803-1896), Gynaecologist with an international reputation.
