History

Bantzenheim is located between the forest of Hardt and the Rhine. Various excavations delivered very many archaeological vestiges, molars of mammoths, the remainders of eighteen hillocks proto-histories, Roman ruins of the 4th century and two necropoles alamanes.

The village of Sappenheim is quoted with the site of the Roman station of Stalled in 1113 both disappeared.

Bantzenheim, possession of the abbey of Murbach, belongs then to Habsbourg, initially like avouery, then like freehold good, and passes thereafter to the family of Sénozan, 1648 until the Revolution.

At the 18th century, the village has an important relay of station which can shelter thirty horses.

About 1900, the irrigation canal of Hardt is built on the initiative of the priest of the village Charles Hug.La commune is touched hard at the time of the second world war. As it is in the middle of the Maginot line, the population is evacuated on Ensisheim and Soultz initially, then in Gontaud in the Batch and the Garonne during one year.

But the bombardments having taken place from January 20th to February 8th, 1945 kill five civilians and damage the majority of the buildings. After the Second world war, a policy of great work is followed. Then as from the years 1960, a vast industrial park settles along the Rhine. The commune sees its population then increasing considerably. Initially integrated in the canton of Habsheim, Bantzenheim belongs to the new canton of Illzach since 1982.

Sources the inheritance of the communes of Haut-Rhin

Established between the drill of Hardt and the Rhine, the commune of Bantzenheim was located on the old Rhenish Roman way. The station of Stalled, between Bantzenheim and Ottmarsheim, made place in the village of Sappenheim, city in IXe and destroyed at the 14th century. It is also at that time that the village disappeared from Blidosheim, mentioned in 1113. A vault, in the east of the village, rebuilt after 1945, marks the site of it. The documents of the 19th century are marked still of a mill, attested in 1555, and of a tilery which was 7 rue du Général de Gaulle.

The church of Bantzenheim is quoted as of 795. The current building, built about 1780, was increased in the west at the beginning of the 20th century. The bombardments of 1945 damaged good number of houses, the old town hall and the school. There remain some vestiges of the important relay of station of the 18th century which could shelter 30 horses.

It is to the priest of Bantzenheim, Charles Hug, that one owes the initiative of the construction of the irrigation canal of Hardt about 1900. A monument was high with its memory in 1908. The establishment of the industrial park of the Bantzenheim-Chalampé-Ottmarsheim sectors along the Rhine in 1960 involved a considerable increase in population. The habitat of XVIIIe and 19th centuries is characterized by a low home in wood side or stone. Notes and references == ]
