Wintzenheim

Wintzenheim (French pronunciation: [vintsənaim] ⓘ; German: Winzenheim) is a commune in the Haut-Rhin département in Grand Est in north-eastern France.

Colmar is a town which receives very little rain because it benefits from a microclimate (called the micro-climat des Trois-Épis [fr]) due to the effect of a vortex propagated by the Munster valley with winds from the south-west to west.

Situated only 3 km (1.9 mi) from Colmar, Wintzenheim benefits from this micro-climate.

Until the French Revolution, Wintzenheim was a dependency of the Lords of Hohlandsbourg.

Louvois rewarded general Joseph de Montclar with this fief in 1680.
