Wintzenheim is a district of the French commune of Wintzenheim-Kochersberg in the Bas-Rhin department in the Grand Est region (until 2015 Alsace ).
history
Wintzenheim belonged to the Westhofen Office of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg . With France's reunification policy under King Louis XIV , the Westhofen and Wintzenheim offices came under French suzerainty. After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , the inheritance - and with it Wintzenheim - 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 begun by the French Revolution , the Amt Wörth became part of France and dissolved in the subsequent administrative reforms. In 1798 Wintzenheim had 250 inhabitants.
