Ingenheim (French pronunciation:[iŋ(ɡ)ənaim]ⓘ;Alsatian:Íngne) is acommune in theBas-Rhindepartment inGrand Est in north-easternFrance.[3]
The earliest surviving record dates from 739 and names the village Ingenhaim. The first two syllables may comes from theGermanic given/Christian name, "Ingo". "Heim" occurs frequently in place names in countries where the local language is or has been a dialect of German: it is from the same root as the English word "home" and may refer to a grouping of houses or to a farmstead.
Between 1802 and 1853 the village was the centre for aconsistory for Protestant communities in the surrounding settlements ofDettwiller,Ernolsheim-lès-Saverne,Schwindratzheim,Alteckendorf,Waltenheim-sur-Zorn andDuntzenheim. It lost out toSchwindratzheim after 1852 when theparish replaced theconsistory as the defining organisational unit forprotestant churches in France.
