Origins of its name The first mention of this village is dated from 732AC and comes from Latin : « Petrosa » (rocky road). An explanation of this origin could be the fact that rocks from Pfetterhouse's career were used to build a Roman station not far from Petrosa. From XVIIth century to 1919, the German Pfetterhausen (-hausen is an often-used suffix for German village names) was used, then in 1919 Pérouse (which more sounds French, because Alsace was taken back by France) and, in the end, Pfetterhouse (the actual name sounds more Germanic, because of Germany's last occupation between 1940 and 1945). Latin is an ancient Indo-European language originally spoken in Latium, the region immediately surrounding Rome. ...
