Beinheim lies on theA35 autoroute betweenRoppenheim andSeltz. It is about 50 kilometres north ofStrasbourg, near theGerman border.
In 884, Beinheim belonged to theAbbey of Honau, and is mentioned as such (as "Beinenheim") in a document ofCharles the Fat. As a formerlandgrave city with a castle, by the 15th century, Beinheim was no longer head of the Riet.[4]
In 1255, Beinheim belonged to the baron ofFleckenstein, who sold it to themargrave of Bade in 1402 or 1404. The margrave later introduced religious reform, which did not gain much of a hold.[4] In 1497 the margrave sold Beinheim to theCount Palatine. In 1557 the count sold it back to the margrave, who maintained possession until theFrench Revolution. The castle was demolished in 1687.[4]
Bernard Hentsch was elected mayor in 2001 and has held the position since then, re-elected most recently in 2020.[5] Beinheim has 19 municipal councillors.[5]
