Geography
Wintzenheim is a town of about 8,000 inhabitants (2020) to the west of Colmar. Colmar is a town which receives very little rain because it benefits from a microclimate (called the micro-climat des Trois-Épis) due to the effect of a vortex propagated by the Munster valley with winds from the south-west to west. Situated only 3 km (1.9 mi) from Colmar, Wintzenheim benefits from this micro-climate.
History
Until the French Revolution, Wintzenheim was a dependency of the Lords of Hohlandsbourg.The area was historically administered by the Ribeaupierre family. Later, control passed to the Counts of Lupfen. In the 16th century, Lazarus von Schwendi (also known as Lazare de Schwendi) took over its administration. Louvois rewarded general Joseph de Montclar with this fief in 1680.
Population
Its inhabitants are called Wintzenheimois in French.
