Ammertzwiller (German Ammerzweiler, Alsatian Àmmerzwiller ) is a district of the French commune of Bernwiller with 433 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2013) in the Haut-Rhin department in the Grand Est region (until 2015 Alsace ). By the end of 2015 it formed its own community.
The official spelling of the name was Ammerzwiller until November 18, 2015 . Since the sound / ts / (written in German as ‹z›) has always been reproduced with ‹tz› in Alsatian communities since 1924, in order to guarantee the actual pronunciation in French , the local council at the time requested a correction of the spelling. This was done by decree of the Minister of the Interior of November 16, 2015 with effect from November 19, 2015.
