Guebwiller (French pronunciation: [ɡebvilɛʁ] ⓘ; Alsatian: Gàwiller [ˈkaːviləʁ]; German: Gebweiler) is a commune in the Haut-Rhin département in Grand Est in north-eastern France.

[3] It is situated 20 km (12 mi) northwest of Mulhouse at the foot of the Vosges mountains.

The Ballon de Guebwiller, the highest point in the Vosges, lies 8 km (5.0 mi) to the west of the town.

It belonged to the religious foundation of Murbach, and in 1759 the abbots chose it for their residence.

In 1789, at the outbreak of the French Revolution, the monastic buildings were laid in ruins, and, though the archives were rescued and removed to Colmar, the library perished.
