Geography

Marlenheim ( Alsatian Marle in ) is located on RD 1004, to 20 km in the North-West of Strasbourg, with the foot of Marlenberg, hill which culminates to 369 Mr.

The commune constitutes the northern door of the Wine trail of Alsace (if one excludes the septentrional portion of Wissembourg and Cleebourg); Marlenberg is covered with vines on its south-eastern blank.

The RD 1004 (ex RN4), from the western exit of the city borrows the narrow natural passage between Wangenberg and Marlenberg which one calls Kronthal. In addition to the RD 1004, the Mossig and an old railway connecting Molsheim to Saverne borrow this perforated. The secondary road 220 connecting Pfettisheim to Westhoffen and the RD 422 of Marlenheim with Molsheim ensure the road service road of local level. A deviation of the RD 1004 by the south is in the course of work and will make it possible to circumvent the downtown area completely. Work was the occasion to update vestiges whose dating is spread out -5.000 years before J-C (Ribboned recent) until the time of the Roman occupation.

The sandstone of Marlenberg offers to the amateurs the occasion to practice the cliff on an arranged course. This old career provided the blocks of sandstones which were used with construction of the Cathédrale Notre-Dame as Strasbourg.

Marlenheim is bordering on Nordheim and Fessenheim-the-Low in the North-East, of Furdenheim in the east, Kirchheim in south-east, Wangen in south-west and Wasselonne in the North-West.
