Ingenheim is a village belonging to the municipality of Billigheim-Ingenheim in the district Südliche Weinstraße (Southern Wine Route) in the Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

Village names with the ending “-heim“ in the Upper Rhine area are attributed to the time of Frankish colonisation (5th to 7th century).

The first documented mentions of the village name dates back to 1236 and 1238, when two Burgmannen of Landeck Castle, a Konrad of Ingenheim and a Heinrich von Ingenheim, acted as witnesses to a gift of goods from the town of [Klingenmünster | [Münster]] to the Klingenmünster Abbey.

While the Canton of Landau, and therefore Ingenheim as well, was assigned to France during the first Treaty of Paris (1814), this part of the department of the Lower Rhine located north of the river Lauter came under the sovereign territory of [Austrian Empire | [Austria]] with the second Treaty of Paris (1815).

The remaining areas of the Palatinate region, formerly belonging to the department of the Mont-Tonnerre, were given to Austria at the Congress of Vienna in June 1815.

With the Treaty of Munich in April 1816, the entire Palatinate region was reassigned from the Austrian Empire to the Kingdom of Bavaria.

According to 1928 official index of towns for the free state of Bavaria, a total of 1,315 inhabitants lived in 277 residential buildings in the rural community of Ingenheim.

In the course of the first territorial and administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate, the formerly autonomous municipality of Ingenheim, with at that time 1,436 inhabitants, was dissolved on June 7, 1969.
