Friedolsheim (French pronunciation:[fʁidɔlsaim]ⓘ;Alsatian:Freedelse) is acommune in theBas-Rhindepartment inGrand Est in north-easternFrance.[3]
The village's origins stretch back into antiquity. ManyGallo-Roman remains have been found along with the remains of a road dating back to the second century. The first written reference to Friedolsheim is 770 when it was included in the property of theAbbey of Fulda. A further reference dates from 826 when the village was called Friedesheim and enjoyed a privileged status of direct control under theempire: the village was part of theBailiwick ofKochersberg, subject to the joint and indivisible control of theHoly Roman Emperor and of theBishop of Strasbourg. In 1496, the emperor's portion was acquired by theCity of Strasbourg.
Friedolsheim came under the parish ofMaennolsheim until 1343 when, for ecclesiastical purposes, it passed to the authority of the rural chaplaincy of Betbur, a village near the present site ofKleingœft which disappeared in the wake of the Peasants' Revolt of 1493. In 1803 Friedolsheim became a stand-alone parish.
