Under the dynasties ottoniennes (of Henri Ier with Henri II) and saliennes (of Conrad II with Henri V), Alsace knows a true revival, in particular thanks to its strategic position on the Rhenish and alpine roads. It remains divided into two counties (Nordgau and Sundgau). The family of Habsburg/Habsbourg, originating in Ottmarsheim, counts de Sundgau, is gradually eclipsed by the counts of Dabo /Dagsburg-Eguisheim, Masters of Nordgau, and from which the future pope Leon IX will come Count Brunon d' Eguisheim-Dagsburg (1048 - 1054) at the time of the apogee of this family. The emperors are pressed on the bishops whom they name, to reign effectively.

Eichhoffen was at that time (986) a field pertaining to the counts Hugo IV Wire of Hugo III of Dabo/Dagsburg-Eguisheim, father of the pope Leon IX. His/her brother Eberhard III directs the completion of work of the family monastery of Altorf.
