geography
The name of the place was given by the "Steinbach", which flows through the municipality. Eteimbes is located on the western edge of the Alsace region and on the northwest edge of the Sundgau , only about three kilometers east of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region , 23 kilometers southwest of Mulhouse . In the municipality, on the Haut Bois ridge , two watershed lines meet . The Steinbach flows towards the Rhineland and the Rapène flows towards the Rhône Valley .
history
From 1324 to 1648 Eteimbes was a fief of the Upper Austrian Seigneurs von Thann . Accordingly, the village was mentioned in documents in 1331 and 1576 as "Steinbach". In 1779 it was called Estambes .
In 1793 Eteimbes received in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) the status of a municipality and in 1801 the right to local self-government.
In 1871 Alsace was annexed by the German Empire . Eteimbes belonged within the realm of Alsace-Lorraine to the Altkirch district in the Lower Alsace district and lay on the former border between Germany and France. About twenty boundary stones in the municipality are evidence of this. From 1919 the municipality belonged again to France.
