History

The vicinity has been inhabited since neolithic times. In 1912, stelae dedicated to the Roman gods Mars and Diana were discovered in the municipal forest.

A document dated 733 refers to a place called Batenondovilla near modern Betschdorf. The 7th-9th century Traditiones Wizenburgenses, chronicles of the Benedictine monastery of Wissembourg, mention a donation by Helphant of Batanesheim, grandson of Battacho.

Mention of twin villages begins in the early 14th century. A 1363 document is the first to use the names Oberbetschdorf and Niederbetschdorf (Upper and Lower Betschdorf). The two villages formed part of a district called the Hattgau, which became property of the count of Hanau in 1480. His successors, the counts of Hanau-Lichtenberg, retained property rights after the area fell under French control via the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia, and were inherited by the landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt in 1736. The area remained largely German-speaking and Lutheran under Bourbon rule.

Pottery industry

The development of Betschdorf as a pottery making center dates from the period 1706–1717, when immigrants from the Rhineland began making stoneware in Oberbetschdorf. The French Revolution caused an exodus of potters to Germany, but the First Empire brought a return and a business boom. During this period the potters formed a business district along the Rue de Potiers (Potters' Street).

The two Betschdorfs passed into German hands after the Franco-Prussian War. French markets dried up, and once again the pottery business went into decline. Back in France after World War I, the housewares pottery business ran into stiff competition from high-volume industrial producers. Local potters began a transition to more highly decorated art pottery, still in the city's traditional blue and gray colors. This is their primary market today.

Consolidation

In 1971, following an act of the French Parliament to provide incentives for the merger of communes, the villages of Oberbetschdorf and Niederbetschdorf merged,[3] ending nearly 750 years of separate existence. The following year, the nearby villages of Kuhlendorf, Reimerswiller and Schwabwiller also merged into Betschdorf.[3]
