history

Around the year 1000 there was a settlement called "Ceumerse", which formed into Zumarsheim , Zumersheim and Zumirsheim in the 13th century . The place was first mentioned in a document under the name Zumersheim in 1236. The place name Zimersheim was found in the 15th century and Zymmerssenn until the middle of the 16th century .

Zimmerheim belonged to the Unter-Landser office and had been subordinate to the von Husen family as a fief since 1323. This fiefdom went to the house of Andlau through marriage in 1418 , who held it until the Great Revolution. Zimmerheim ecclesiastically belonged to the diocese of Basel as well as to the land chapter "inter colles", thus to the deanery in Landser. From 1871 to the end of the First World War , Zimmerheim belonged to the German Empire as part of the realm of Alsace-Lorraine and was assigned to the district of Mulhouse in the district of Upper Alsace .

The local coat of arms shows a silver horseshoe on a red field according to the Alsatian armorial .
