Sarcophagi from the Merovingian period were discovered near the church, as well as a burial ground from that period in the vineyards of Petit Pfaffenheim. It was first mentioned in 1186 as Pfaphinheim. The place name Petit-Pfaffenheim in the vineyards east of the village recalls the abandoned small settlement of Klein Pfaffenheim. No traces remain of the castles of Presteneck, Hertenfels, and Meyenheim known from the documents; at Laubeck, only the remains of a round tower and the moat remain. A leper hospital is mentioned in 1578.

The Wine Route mostly follows the EV5. A beautiful route and easy to navigate.

Absolutely stunning and charming historical village! The buildings are not only beautiful, but also so well preserved. It was very quiet when I was there - probably just because it was a Sunday. Nevertheless, it didn't seem as "full" as some as the other villages along the route. That's a great thing for sightseeing, but maybe not so great if you're looking for food or supplies.

The VV221 cycle route is part of the EuroVélo 5 network and begins in Ensisheim at the Thur bridge and ends in Cernay after about 17 km. The route initially runs alongside the road, then past ponds and finally through a wooded area. It runs alongside the Thur and passes the Alsatian Ecomuseum (another route leads to Ungersheim via the Petit Prince Park). The Green Route then winds along the Thur, passing Pulversheim, Staffelfelden, and Wittelsheim, and finally reaches Cernay, still along the Thur.

This wine village originated at the end of the 9th century. There are still some old wine-growing houses. The apse of the church (13th century) is decorated with floral friezes and has a blind gallery and slender columns. The notches in the stones of the apse (lower part) suggest that the wine-growers sharpened their knives here.
