History
Origin of the name
Perhaps Kintzheim comes from the Germanic name König, king and of heim, village. Towards 774, the village of Kintzheim is known under the name of Quningishaim then into 881 Chuniggesheim. The name means " then; the habitat of the roi". The Germanic suffix "
heim " was added to the raised Gallic word
cuno meaning or "
hill " , or with a word of Latin origin
known indicating a
cone or "
the point of a helmet ". These two terms come from the paléo-European root Kun, evoking a "
occlusion in the shape of point ". One calls the inhabitants of this commune
Schnoke (mosquito),
Storche (stork) or
Weidseck (fodder bags).
A mérovingien field
Mentioned as of the
VIIIe century the village is then the seat of a royal vast domain mérovingien. The territory and the forest of Kintzheim made parties of the field of the royal tax department of
Childéric II at the time of the Wulfoald mayor (or Vulfoald). This last defendant of treason by Pépin the Brief will be condemned to died to have plotted against him. On intervention of the abbot
Fulrad it will have the safe life. N the other hand he sees himself obliged to yield part of his goods to Pépin the Brief of which the Abbaye of
Saint-Mihiel (Meuse). One of the palates of
Charlemagne called " Regia" villa; (Quuningishaim), translated later on into Germanic language " Kunigesheim" was undoubtedly located on the slopes of Kintzheim.
Charlemagne often went in the area to drive out in company of the abbot
Fulrad his Chapelain. This last founded two priories, one with
Lièpvre and the other with Saint Hippolyte. It made gift on September 14th
774 with the Prieuré of Lièpvre, attached to died of the abbot
Fulrad to the Abbaye of Saint-Denis, of part of the Forêt of " Quuningishaim" and several other properties belonging to the royal field in the surroundings of Kintzheim with right of pasture and hunting. One year later, crowned
King of the
Lombards, returning of
Italy towards
Aachen it comes in the " Palatium Selestatis" , probably on the slopes of Kintzheim, its large plaid of autumn. In
781,
Charlemagne grants other grounds, of which the vast ones extended from detached forests of the Fisc of Kintzheim to the Prieuré of Lièpvre. The small son of
Charlemagne, the emperor
Lothaire Ier offered in reward on February 17th
843 Kunigesheim (Königsheim) to Erchangar, count of Nordgau. The Abbaye of Andlau had contiguous properties with the commune of
Lièpvre and located at the bottom of the village on the territory of the commune of Kintzheim. They are the meadows of the old people's home of
Sélestat, indicated at the time under the name of Abtissinhurst or Graveloch. It is claimed that they belonged to the court colongères that had the Abbaye of Andlau in Kintzheim. The girl
Erchangar, Holy-Richarde, founder of the
Abbey of Andlau, wife of Charles the Large will inherit all these goods.

Thereafter the village is transmitted to [[Hohenstaufen]], then in Reich, from where the imperial eagle - Reichsadler - in the armorial bearings. The Germanic emperors engage starting from [[XIIIe century]] the incomes of the village to noble and powerful families of which them [[Kagen]], them [[Rathsamhausen]] and them [[Andlau]]. As of [[1267]] Rathsamhausen
[ the name at the time was spelled Racenhuzen ] had the castle of Kintzheim. In [[1286]], part of the village of Kintzheim was committed in Hartmann and Egilophe of [[Rathsamhausen]] by the emperor [[Rodolphe Ier]], with the help of 150 money marcs. In [[1299]] their field increased by a farm with Kintzheim that it [[abbey of Senones]] gave them in stronghold.
In [[1298]], inhabitants of [[Châtenois (the Low-Rhine)|Châtenois]], village located near at 3,5 km, managed then by [[Conrad de Lichtenberg]], [[bishop]] of [[Strasbourg]], burn and devastate the castle of Kintzheim. [[Rathsamhausen]] with [[Kagen]] rebuild it [[castle]] between [[1300]] and [[1306]].

[[Louis of Bavaria]] most of Kintzheim grants to the town of Sélestat. Rathsamhausen sold the remainder of the village then and consèvèrent nothing any more but the castle.
From this time the town of Sélestat fully exerts its rights on the town of Kintzheim. In [[1632]] the castle of Kintzheim is occupied by the Swedish troops thus causing the ruin of the village. With the Revolution, Kintzheim must face a litigation related to the division of the communal goods. In [[1834]], the city of [[Sélestat]] gives up its rights on Kintzheim after a lawsuit which lasted forty years.

===Eglise Saint-Martin===
[[Image: Kintzheim 051.JPG|thumb|left|300px|Saint Martin's day church in Kintzheim (1844)]]
[[Image: Martin-Tours.jpg|thumb|right|St Martin de Tours. Icon of the nave of the vault of the monastery of Cantauque (Provence), of which he is the holder.]]
According to the historians, Kintzheim had already a parish as well as a church in the year [[954]]. The current church was built between [[1844]] and [[1846]] and was dedicated with [[Saint Martin's day]], [[bishop]] of [[Turns]]. The current church replaced an old building which was in Kintzheim. In [[1830]] is made the decision to increase the church which did not make it possible any more to accommodate the totality of the parishioners. The old church measured only 13,70 m out of 10,70 with a very small chorus and was surrounded by a cemetery of which there existed still an old side of the wall which remained rather well preserved. It is claimed that it belonged to the royal farm. This wall was leant against two houses along the old cemetery. These two houses were acquired following a procdure of expropriation for the sum of 15000 francs and were demolished to increase the current church. The first reconstruction project of a new church goes back to [[1758]] and the other of [[1791]]. The project consisted in taking as a starting point what existed in [[Châtenois (the Low-Rhine)|Châtenois]], but construction was considered to be too expensive for the commune. The Revolution and the long lawsuit with the city of [[Sélestat]] were to delay the construction which was differed. The current church was designed by an architect of Sélestat, Mr. Ringesen for an estimate of 100.000 francs. The new church dédéiée with [[Saint Martin's day]] was devoted by [[Mgr Raess]], [[bishop]] of [[Strasbourg]] on August 2nd [[1846]]. Tables, and statues and added appropriations available progressively. In [[1870]], a storm and a love at first sight tore off half of the steeple roof of the church. September 5th [[1917]], the German administration removed two bells and 78 organ pipes to be molten and transformed into weaponry. The bells found close to [[Frankfurt]] were restored in [[1922]].

[[Image: Eagle 008.JPG|thumb|left|300px|Vault of the Eagle on the communal ground of Kintzheim (1929) close to [[Vancelle]] - station]]
This vault located in the Money Valley ([[Valley of Lièpvre]]) is 1 km from [[Vancelle]] - station, an appendix of Kintzheim located on [[forest] the] domanial one of [[Sélestat]] which depends on the Saint Martin's day parish, on a forest road which goes to [[Haut-Koenigsbourg]]. The origin of this vault is probably registered at the beginning of [[XIXe century]]. The vault was known at the time under the denomination of " Waldkapelle (vault of wood) and was located in the forest canton Adler (Eagle). One does not know exactly the reason for which this forest canton was baptized thus. Perhaps that one [[hunter]] would have cut down one [[Eagle (bird)|eagle]]? The legend wants that to this place, carrying went in trimmings. [[Horse]] which tractor drew a wood load started to scrape the ground vigorously, emphasizing ground an image of [[the Marie de Nazareth|Virgin]] who was fixed in the hollow of a tree. The place became thus a place of pilgrimage attended by many inhabitants of the area. One tells that during the famous appearances of [[the Marie de Nazareth|Virgin]] close to [[castle of Frankenbourg]], on the commune of [[Neubois]], in the years [[1872]] - [[1880]], of the people indicated to have had appearances to this place. These people claimed to have seen the Virgin and of [[angel]] the S protecting it [[pope]]. Like, during the appearances of [[Neubois]], Kreisdirector of [[Sélestat]] orders on December 12th [[1873]] a monitoring day laborer of the places by [[the Police force (institution)|organizes]]. The frequentation of the places increasing of day in day, the police force tried to dissuade people to go to this [[vault]] or of the unfavourable rumors circulated against German. The current vault was renovated under the direction of [[priest]] of then, Joseph Schahl and of the president of the fabric committee of [[the Church (building)|church]] of Kintzheim, Ignace Humm. The inauguration of the vault took place Monday of [[Pentecost]], on May 20th [[1929]]. The restoration of [[vault]] of [[eagle]] was realized thanks to the support of the inhabitants of Kintzheim and [[Châtenois (the Low-Rhine)|Châtenois]], especially by members of the " Bengalma". Gifts out of materials were made by companies of [[Sélestat]], [[Châtenois (the Low-Rhine)|Châtenois]] and Kintzheim.

=== the bench Joséphine ===
It is on the initiative of the prefect of [[the Low-Rhine]], Adrien Lezay-Marnesua which one owes the establishment of the first benches resting places. These benches are installed to pay a homage supported to the empress [[Marie-Louise of Austria]] who gave rise to a son of [[Napoleon i]] in [[1811]]. These benches were to be on the road all half-place (2 km) to allow the wine growers and the hikers to rest. Trees were to be planted near the benches to allow ombrager the places. The financing of work were the responsibility of the communes. In [[1853]], the successor of the prefect of the Low Rhine takes again the initiative at the time of the marriage of [[Napoleon III]] with Eugenie de Montijo. The department of the Low-Rhine proposes to deal with work and the supply of the stones of size for approximately 500 francs. It is of this time ([[1854]]) that date the installation of the benches resting places located between Kintzheim, in edge of [[MINOR ROAD 201]] and between [[Orschwiller]] and [[Sélestat]], with the intersection of Dreispitzweg and Mittelgraben.
=== funerary Stele of Ier or IIe century ===
In 1952-1953, during the repair of the war memorial, the diggers discovered two old steles [[Gallo-Roman]] are with funerary inscriptions. They of form triangular are decorated for one with it with a disc with relief and the other with a crescent and with two discs. The first plate comprises an inscription which could date from [[IIe century]], bearing inter alia the name of [[Luted]], girl of [[Undagius]] of the family of [[Ilimuni]] deceased at the 60 years age. The second carries the inscription of [[Biliutero]]. These two steles, exposed a certain time at the entry of the town hall, are visible today on the frontage is church, with the site of the old war memorial. Other steles of this kind were found with [[Rorschwihr]] and [[Ostheim]]. The commune of Kintzheim was in edge of a Roman way materialized by still visible milliary columns nowadays in the communes of [[Orschwiller]], [[Châtenois (the Low-Rhine)|Châtenois]] and of [[Scherwiller]] where they joined the road of [[salt]]. This monument has a total height of 1,25 m, a width at the base of 0,64 m and a thickness (irregular) of 0,28 Mr.

It is about stone-limits out of sandstone of [[Massive of the Vosges|The Vosges]] placed at the limit of the communes of Kintzheim- [[Châtenois (the Low-Rhine)|Châtenois]] probably installed before [[Revolution]]. It is engraved with the armoirie of Kintzheim: an eagle with a head, spread wings, which was the emblem of the house of Austria, in other words of the family of [[Habsbourg]], emperors of [[Germany]] and Austria. With the back of the stone there is no reason. The stone is not dated. Of [[1338]] to [[1790]] the city of [[Kintzheim]] was attached to the city of [[Sélestat]]. The commune of Kintzheim became autonomous in [[1800]]. This was autefois with the locality " stone-limits; Soj-Gràwe" very close to the old Celtic way, then Roman currently transformed into cycle track, close to Hattenberg. In the years [[1970]], this stone-limits was removed involuntarily by a person to decorate a property with the surroundings. After a call launched to the population, the stone was brought back in [[1979]] and decorates the entry of the renovated town hall, laid out between two tomb stones of the Gallo-Roman time (stones reinstalled on their site of origin, around the Saint Martin's day church).
