Heiligenberg (French pronunciation:[ailigənbɛʁɡ]) is acommune in theBas-Rhindepartment inGrand Est in north-easternFrance.[3] Its name meansmountain of the saints in German.
The village is positioned approximately ten kilometres (six miles) to the west ofMolsheim, on high ground overlooking theBruche valley. To the west is the great domainal forest of Haslach.
Unusually inAlsace, this is one village not traversed by a numbered departmental road: it does, however, overlook the former Route Nationale N420 in the valley below, a long distance road rendered less important in recent years by the development of the autoroute network: in 2006 this stretch of road was formally downgraded to become the Route Departmentale RD 420.
The villagers rescued the mail and the crew of aMontgolfier balloon after it escaped theSiege of Paris on 25 October 1870. The balloon's anchor has been kept.
