history
A first documentary mention dates from the year 736. The village was subordinated to the abbey of Ebersmünster around 770. From 1361 until the French Revolution in 1789 it was under the care of the von Rathsamhausen family. The Catholic Holy Cross Church, built by Joseph Michael Schnöller (1707–1767), was rebuilt after being destroyed in the Second World War.
From 1871 until the end of the First World War , Grussenheim belonged to the German Empire as part of the realm of Alsace-Lorraine and was assigned to the Colmar district in the Upper Alsace district .
The Hafalamarik - that means something like Häfelchenmarkt in Alsatian - has been held every year since 1850 on May 1st - today under the French name Le Marché aux pots .
