Etschhausen, a disappeared village

This village was located at 1.3 kilometers in the South of Minversheim, between the road of Mommenheim and the Landgraben brook.

Etschhausen which was a district dîmière with whole share had a vault Saint Nicolas, subsidiary of Minversheim in 1763; and in 1762, the priest touched 106 more guilders of dîme of the old bench. However the last mentions of village go back to 1300,1308,1349 and 1360 but perhaps he is not inhabited already more.

The vault which appears as a ruin on the chart of Cassini of the 18th century, does not exist today any more. But the stone statue of Hilaire Saint, placed at the top of the gate of the church of Minversheim comes from this vault.

This locality gave various names of localities:

- Etschhauser Feld (Field of E.)

- Etschhauser Pfad (Path of E.)
