Résumé anglais On the Transmission of Patrimony: A Tentative Typology of Rural Dwelling in Alsatia. Morphological and functional criteria do but delineate an East/West scission, but they provide no answer as far as patrimonial transmission is concerned. The topic of the article was first elucidated in Kochersberg where a mode of "integral transmission" could be observed, which meant indeed a key-factor in a social system including close relations between its rural aristocracy and the Strasbourg bourgeoisie, and constant rural migration. Such a phenomenon pertains to medieval customs, the most important of which was the Ferrette County's: it advocated the rights of the youngest, a stand which, despite the laws, is still abided by nowadays in localities where such customs formerly prevailed. Matrimonial and successoral data lead to a typology set on judicial grounds, which sheds light on a North/West scission concerning the validity of the rights of the youngest. The division is all the more obvious in economically viable sub-regions. The problem of patrimonial transmission induced the author to set forth a tentative definition of the Hof (farm).
