Ingenheim (French pronunciation: [iŋ(ɡ)ənaim] ⓘ; Alsatian: Íngne) is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.
[3] The earliest surviving record dates from 739 and names the village Ingenhaim.
"Heim" occurs frequently in place names in countries where the local language is or has been a dialect of German: it is from the same root as the English word "home" and may refer to a grouping of houses or to a farmstead.
Between 1802 and 1853 the village was the centre for a consistory for Protestant communities in the surrounding settlements of Dettwiller, Ernolsheim-lès-Saverne, Schwindratzheim, Alteckendorf, Waltenheim-sur-Zorn and Duntzenheim.
It lost out to Schwindratzheim after 1852 when the parish replaced the consistory as the defining organisational unit for protestant churches in France.
