history
A document from 1120 mentions goods belonging to the Sindelsberg and Maursmünster monasteries in Winzne . Later the village came to the territory of the Lower Alsatian Imperial Knighthood , but as a fief of the Lichtenberg rule . The first known knightly owners of the village were the Lords of Grostein in the 14th century . Since 1370 the village belonged to the Zuckmantel von Brumath . After they died out in 1781, it was given to the Lords of Glaubitz ; the feudal rule had meanwhile passed to the Landgraves of Hesse-Darmstadt with the rule of Lichtenberg .
The Reformation was introduced around 1540 and the village became part of the Protestant parish of Duntzenheim . Since 1686 the church has been used as a simultaneous church for both denominations.
During the French Revolution , most of the manorial archives were burned in a public ceremony by then-Mayor Michael North, an ardent patriot.
To distinguish it from other places with the name Wintzenberg, the name was changed to Wintzenheim-Kochersberg on May 8, 1926 .
