history

The originally German name and the river of the same name mean something like salty brook . It is assumed that there was already a settlement near a fort on the site of the village in Gallo-Roman times, which was on the Roman road from Mandeure to Artzenheim . Around the year 1100 the name of the place appears for the first time with the foundation of the priory of St. Morand in Altkirch and St. Nikolaus in Rougemont .
