Hattmatt (French pronunciation:[atmat]ⓘ) is acommune in theBas-Rhindepartment inGrand Est in north-easternFrance.[3]
The village is located a few kilometres to the northeast ofSaverne on the departmental road RD6.
The river Zinsel passes through the village. The surrounding villages areRosenwiller,Steinbourg,Dossenheim-sur-Zinsel, andImbsheim.
According to oral tradition,[citation needed] the birthplace of Hattmattois was in Wiesenau (now defunct) alongRosenwiller nearDettwiller. As the war outraged peasants, houses were burned and the population decimated. The few survivors wondered then WER HAT HÈ MOT, which means who has a meadow (field) hence the origin of HATT MOT (Hattmatt).
Other sources[citation needed] affirm the two villages existed at the same time. Wiesenau was an independent village of Hattmatt rather scattered habitat type (hamlet), which probably disappeared during the invasions of theArmagnacs (Armengecken) in the fifteenth century. Wiesenau is no longer mentioned as a village thereafter. There was, therefore, no longer anything in the Peasant War of 1525. It was Hattmatt Hanau-Lichtenberg who obtained the tenancy of the bank of the lost village. After a trial during theRevolution, Hattmatt obtained ownership of this bank (1793).
As for theetymology of the name, the most plausible is that of the Germanic root associated with the suffix of Hatto matt (pre). So the pre Hatto.
