Willstätt (German pronunciation: [ˈvɪlˌʃtɛt]) is a town in the district of Ortenau in Baden-Württemberg in Germany, with a population of 9,787 as at December 31, 2017.
It is around 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) east of Strasbourg's city centre.
[3] In September 1634, three weeks after their biggest victory of the war at Nördlingen, Willstätt was burned as a result of a skirmish between Catholics under Jan von Werth and Swedes under Rheingrave Otto Louis.
[4] On 1 August 1675, during the Rhineland campaign of the 1672-1678 Franco-Dutch War, a French army under Comte de Lorges and an Imperial force led by Raimondo Montecuccoli fought a battle nearby at Altenheim, Neuried.
It was later rebuilt with a foundation consisting of oak pillars and the inauguration of the church took then place on November 11, 1756.
