Wingen-sur-Moder (French pronunciation: [viŋ(g)ən syʁ mɔdɛʁ]; German: Wingen an der Moder; Rhine Franconian: Winge)[3] is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.

The Thirty Years War and an outbreak of plague devastated Wingen and the surrounding region in the early seventeenth century, leaving the town uninhabited.

[7] In early January 1945, Wingen was the location of a minor, but strategically important battle between German and American forces.

At the start of the offensive, Wingen was controlled by Allied forces and a modest number of soldiers from the Seventh United States Army were positioned near the town.

At dawn on 4 January, two battalions of the German 6th SS Mountain Division Nord managed to quickly capture Wingen.

Over 200 American soldiers positioned in the town were caught off guard, captured, and held captive in the Catholic church and a nearby house without food or water until they were liberated on 7 January.

[10] Starting in 1816, the Teutsch family owned and operated the Hochberg glass factory, which was in decline at the time the house was built and closed in 1868.

[5] The rail line was built during German rule by the General Division of the Imperial Railways in Alsace-Lorraine; the section through Wingen-sur-Moder opened 1 May 1895.

[17] TER Grand Est, a Train Express Régional operated by SNCF, serves the Wingen-sur-Moder station.
