history
Finds from the Neolithic period , the Hallstatt period and the Roman period show a far reaching back settlement of the district .
After the introduction of the Reformation , Uttenhofen was Protestant. After the reunion , the local church became a simultaneous church . The nave of today's church building was erected in 1762, the Gothic choir , on the other hand, dates from the 16th century. The church has a reputation for being the smallest in Alsace.
In the 18th century, the village belonged to the Niederbronn district of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg , which at that time belonged to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt . However, it was awarded to von Leiningen . The place was fortified around 1790. On December 1, 1793, the nearby winter camp of Major General Stephan Bernhard Graf Keglevich de Buzin was attacked by surprise during the First Coalition War , and the officer fell.
