Kingersheim

This Chronicle recalls that in the year 1199, the bishop Lüthold de Bâle, commanded the Kingersheim chapel to be connected to Wittenheim parish.

In 1202, Pope Innocent III confirmed the ruling letters of the two bishops and in 1216, Neuwiller abbey gave as a present to the Schoenensteinbach monastery, a relic of Saint Adelphe which was dropped off in Kingersheim chapel.

In 1473, Lazare d'Andlau was invested of Kingersheim village by Pierre de Hagenbach, grand bailiff of Charles le Téméraire.

But first and foremost, it’s the place where all Kingersheim children spend their free time: many activities such as theatre, sport (classical dance, swimming…) drawing, painting, sewing, pottery… are offered to the inhabitants.

However its equipment shows that it’s also a modern and practical auditorium, located in the center of the town and well adapted to the cultural programming of Kingersheim.

Since 1992, this festival for young and adults offers, during a week, about forty representations of drama, circus, dance, puppets and music.

In 2006, this festival was labeled "Scène conventionnée Jeune Public d'Alsace" and is now a national and international reference.

Momix is the opportunity, given to everyone, to access the world of the show and to develop the critical eye which makes the man and citizen of tomorrow.
