history
middle Ages
Schwindratzheim is known as Svinderadovilla around the year 737 . It belonged to the Lichtenberg rule before 1289 and was an imperial fief . Schwindratzheim also formed its own bailiff. A "Büttelei" was the subdivision of an office . Around 1330 there was a first division of land between Johann II. Von Lichtenberg , from the older line of the house, and Ludwig III. from Lichtenberg . The Büttelei Schwindratzheim fell into the part of the property that was managed by the older line in future, while the village received the younger line. This division of the country was also the reason for a new internal organization of the Lichtenberg rule: the Ingweiler and Buchsweiler offices were reorganized, including the Pfaffenhofen office , to which Schwindratzheim also belonged, spun off and made independent.
Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474), one of the two heirlooms of Ludwig V von Lichtenberg (* 1417; † 1474) married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417; † 1480), one of them had received a small secondary school from the inventory of the County of Hanau in order to be able to get married. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage . After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Jakob von Lichtenberg , an uncle of Anna, Philipp I. d. Ä. 1480 half of the Lichtenberg rule . The Pfaffenhofen office with Schwindratzheim also belonged to this half.
Modern times
Count Philip IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg (1514–1590), after taking office in 1538, consistently carried out the Reformation in his county, which now became Lutheran .
As a result of France's reunion policy in 1680, considerable parts of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg in Alsace fell under the sovereignty of France . This also included the Pfaffenhofen Office.
1736 died with Count Johann Reinhard III. the last male representative of the Hanau family. Due to the marriage of his only daughter, Charlotte (* 1700; † 1726), with the Hereditary Prince Ludwig (VIII.) (* 1691; † 1768) of Hesse-Darmstadt , the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg fell there. The Lutheran Church of Peter and Paul from 1740 was replaced by a new building in 1904.
In the course of the French Revolution , the part of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg on the left bank of the Rhine - and with it the office of Pfaffenhofen and Schwindratzheim - fell to France.
On January 1, 2015, the municipality moved from the Arrondissement Strasbourg-Campagne to the Arrondissement Saverne .
