Early Middle Ages

Nègre writes in his toponymie générale de la France ("Allgemeine Ortsnamenskunde") that the place name is composed of the Germanic name Betilo and the place name ending -heim . This indicates that Bietlenheim was founded at the time of the Frankish conquest .

High Middle Ages

Bietlenheim was one of a series of estates that the Counts of Ötingen sold to the Lords of Lichtenberg in 1332 . Since that time the village belonged to the Lichtenberg rule and there to the Brumath office . It was a fiefdom of the Bishop of Strasbourg . The lords of Lichtenberg were enfeoffed with it for the first time in 1364, initially in community with those of Geroldseck , after which they were the sole fiefs. But the mill of Bietlenheim was allodial property of the Lords of Lichtenberg.

In 1440 one of the disputes between Jakob von Lichtenberg and his brother, Ludwig V. von Lichtenberg (* 1417, † 1474), was attempted to end by dividing the rule. The office of Brumath was given to Ludwig V.

Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474), one of Ludwig V's two heirs, married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417; † 1480) in 1458, who had a small secondary school from the County of Hanau had received in order to be able to marry her. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage. After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Count Jakob, one of Anna's uncle, Philip I d. Ä. In 1480 half of the Lichtenberg rule, the other half went to his brother-in-law, Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The Brumath office was initially a condominium between Hanau-Lichtenberg and Zweibrücken-Bitsch. Under the government of Count Philip III. From Hanau-Lichtenberg there was then a real division: Brumath came entirely to Zweibrücken-Bitsch. In contrast, the Willstätt office , which also came from the Lichtenberg legacy and was a condominium between the two houses, was transferred entirely to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg.

Early modern age

However, there was another inheritance in 1570, which also brought the Brumath office and thus the village of Bietlenheim to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg: Count Jakob von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (* 1510; † 1570) and his brother Simon V. Wecker , who had died in 1540, left behind only one daughter each as heiress. Count Jakob's daughter, Margarethe (* 1540; † 1569), was married to Philipp V von Hanau-Lichtenberg (* 1541; † 1599). The legacy resulting from this constellation also included the second half of the former rule of Lichtenberg, which was not already ruled by Hanau-Lichtenberg, and included the office of Brumath with Bietlenheim. In 1570, the ruling Count of Hanau-Lichtenberg also carried out the Reformation in Bietlenheim , in the Lutheran version.

Due to France's reunion policy , the Amt Brumath and the village of Bietlenheim also fell under French suzerainty in 1680.

1736 died with Count Johann Reinhard III. the last male representative of the Hanau family. Due to the marriage of his only daughter, Charlotte (* 1700; † 1726), with the Hereditary Prince Ludwig (VIII.) (* 1691; † 1768) of Hesse-Darmstadt , he inherited the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg.

Modern times

In the course of the French Revolution , the left bank of the Hanau-Lichtenberg county - and thus also Bietlenheim - fell to France. In 1793 Bietlenheim was given the status of a municipality as Biettenheim and in 1801 the right to local self-government. In 1871 the community was incorporated into the newly created realm of Alsace-Lorraine of the German Empire due to changes in territory due to the course of the Franco-German War (1870–1871) . The realm of Alsace-Lorraine existed until the end of the First World War (1914–1918) and was then dissolved. Bietlenheim then belonged to France again.
