history
Hurtigheim is located on the former Roman road from Argentorate (Strasbourg) to Tres Tabernae ( Saverne ), the route of which the Départementstraße still follows in sections.
middle Ages
Half of Hürtigheim belonged to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg . This share was subordinate to the Hanau-Lichtenberg Office Westhofen .
The church of Hürtigheim was a place of pilgrimage dedicated to Valentin von Terni , which was intended to provide relief especially for epileptics . Protestant services have been held in the church since 1541 . The pilgrims continued to visit the place until 1866.
Early modern age
With the reunion policy of France under King Louis XIV , the Westhofen and Hürtigheim offices came under French sovereignty. After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , the inheritance - and with it half of Hürtigheim - fell in 1736 to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte , the hereditary prince and later Landgrave Ludwig (IX.) of Hesse-Darmstadt . With the upheaval started by the French Revolution , Hürtigheim became French.
