Weyersheim

The name Weyersheim originates from the combination of the Germanic term "Wihr," meaning ditch, and the Alemannic suffix "heim," which denotes a dwelling.

Thus, Weyersheim could be translated as "the village of the ditch," a name that directly refers to the ditch that once surrounded the old local castle.

Strategically located at the outlet of the Zorn valley, this Alsatian village has always attracted people due to its advantageous geographical position.

It is bordered by the rich Loess hills, offering fertile lands, and by the wetland areas of the Ried, favorable for agriculture and biodiversity. These natural assets have made Weyersheim a preferred place for human settlement for centuries.
