geography
Brunstatt borders on the southwest of the city of Mulhouse , with which it is closely linked in terms of structure and traffic. The Rhine-Rhône Canal runs through the area parallel to the Ill . Brunstatt also had a train station on the Paris – Mulhouse line ; but this had to be closed when the LGV Rhin-Rhône went into operation. It is to be reopened as soon as the capacity of the route allows.
history
The location is first mentioned in a document from the year 1200, which is presumably much older: There, properties of the monastery on Mount Odile are mentioned under the name Burnen .
