Hégenheim (French pronunciation: [eɡənaim] ⓘ; German: Hegenheim; Alsatian: Hagena) is a commune in the Haut-Rhin department in Alsace in north-eastern France.

Hégenheim is a small town located in the northeastern quarter of France and in the southeastern part of the Haut-Rhin department.

[3] As a result of the devastation caused by the war of the League of Augsburg (1688–1697), the sisters Elizabeth and Anna of Baerenfels, owners of the old castle, took refuge in Bourgfelden.

Louis XIV handed the domain to Laurent de Barbier, an officer of Picardy origin, as a reward for the many years he had spent in the service of France, and as compensation for the various wounds he had received.

At that time, he commanded the fort Saint-Pierre in Freiburg im Breisgau and later directed the construction of the fortress of Huningue.

[4] Due to restrictive laws in the region (notably in many Swiss cantons), Jews had trouble finding a place to bury their dead, so the cemetery of Hegenheim gained considerable importance.

However, maritime features are limited due to the significant distance from oceans and seas resulting in frosty winters and warm, humid summers with violent thunderstorms.
