history
Until the 18th century
The area around Ettenheim was settled early on. During the development of a new building area, two graves with skeletons were found whose grave goods can be attributed to the bell-cup culture , i.e. from the period between 2500 and 2000 BC. Come from BC. Finds from the Celtic period (1000 to 600 BC) had already been made beforehand.
The first written mention of Ettenheim can be found in the fraternity book of the St. Gallen monastery between 810 and 900. Ettenheim's founder is the Alsatian Duke Ettiko II, who died in 712, or his son Eddo , an important Strasbourg bishop who rebuilt the Ettenheimmünster monastery . Ettenheim was the official city of the Strasbourg bishops until 1803. Much architectural evidence comes from this time.
Ettenheim belonged to the bishopric of Strasbourg since the Middle Ages . In the 12th century Ettenheim received market rights . 1302/1304 of the market town was under Bishop Frederick I of Strasbourg and King Albrecht , the city charter granted. The 15th century was an economic boom for Ettenheim. The Ettenheim church lord was the richest in the Lahr / Ettenheim chapter. The hospital in today's inner city was established in 1452 by a foundation. It served as a benefactor's home and hospital and supported the poor, the homeless and school children. The old building was demolished in 1781 and rebuilt in 1786. The 16th century brought troubled times for the population of Ettenheim. In 1525 the peasants around the city revolted during the Peasants' War .
The baroque townscape of Ettenheim, which is still preserved today, is the result of almost 150 years of construction activity, which began soon after the end of the Thirty Years War and ended with the completion of the parish church in 1772 and its consecration in 1782. This city complex was preceded by complete destruction in that war. On September 5, 1637, Duke Bernhard von Sachsen-Weimar , who fought on the Swedish side and in the service of France against the imperial troops under General Johann von Werth , had the medieval city burned down. In addition to a few houses, only the medieval floor plan of the city remained, on which the baroque reconstruction gradually took place. The new landlord, Ettenheim's Cardinal Louis René Édouard de Rohan-Guéméné (1734–1803), 1777 Grand Almosenier of France , was involved in the “ collar affair ” in Paris in 1785 and accused, but reinstated in 1786 and received in 1789 in Ettenheim. He lived in Ettenheim Castle until his death in 1803 and was buried in the choir of the baroque parish church of St. Bartholomäus in Ettenheim. The thirteen restless years of his exile in Ettenheim have shaped the image and self-image of the “Rohanstadt” ever since.
19th to 21st century
With the secularization due to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the place came to the Electorate of Baden in 1803 .
A little over a year after the cardinal's death, little Ettenheim entered the limelight for a short period of time. The last hope of the supporters of the monarchy in France, the Duke of Enghien , a Bourbon descendant, lived in Ettenheim . He was kidnapped here on the night of March 15, 1804 on the orders of Napoleon, which represented a blatant breach of the sovereignty of the then state of Baden, and shot shortly afterwards in Paris after a show trial . This breach of international law sparked outrage across Europe.
In 1806, the Electorate of Baden was elevated to the Grand Duchy of Baden . A subsequent administrative reform made the city the seat of the district office of the same name in 1809 , which was incorporated into the Lahr district office in 1924 . From this the district of Lahr emerged in 1939 . When it was dissolved, Ettenheim came to the newly formed Ortenaukreis in 1973 .
During the period of National Socialism was the synagogue in the Alleestraße the November 1938 pogrom destroyed. Since 1969 a memorial plaque in the town hall's citizen hall has been commemorating this.
In June 2005 Ettenheim celebrated its 700th birthday as a city or city charter. A city festival took place in the historic city center, which was very popular with the residents.

The architect Hans Voss calculated their pictorial, poorly decorated façades primarily for the monumental effect of clearly defined structures - in Münchweier they also stand in attractive contrast to the surrounding half-timbered buildings. The architecture of the church, built between 1828 and 1829, corresponds to the classical canon of forms of Voss' famous teacher Friedrich Weinbrenner .
