history
Dossenheim was first mentioned in a document in 1124. From 1512 it belonged to the Principality of Strasbourg , which is why it was not affected by the Reformation that began a little later. In 1569 Dossenheim was burned down by the Duke of Aumale's troops ; in the Thirty Years' War it was almost completely destroyed again in 1621/22. In August 1791, the residents drove the newly appointed pastor Eulogius Schneider within a few days. After this prosecutor at the Revolutionary Tribunal, he retaliated with some death sentences that were carried out on the Kochersberg .
