Meistratzheim

Origin of the name: Germanic Straat, roadway and Heim, village.

The site, located near the Romance way, way connecting Belfort to Seltz by Brumath, is occupied from the Neolithic era.

The village is named for the first time in a parchment going back to 742 where it is known as that the convent of Wissembourg has properties with "Maisteresheim".

The village initially belongs to the count de Nordgau then enters in possession of various abbeys from 742 and this until 1030. Thereafter, the stronghold is acquired by the “évêché” of Strasbourg then by the Landsberg family (preserved until the Revolution). In July 1857, during the wars of religion, four fires are caused by mercenaries. On the 17th century, the commune suffers from the passage of the troops imperial, Swedish, Lorraine and French, which plunder, set fire to and hold to ransom; it is also touched by the famine due to the rigor of the winters and the insufficiency of harvests.
