Historical vignettes
- In 1552 the Protestant Reformation reached Frœschwiller when Kuno Eckbrecht of Dürckheim ordered the construction of the village's first church on the seigneurial lands.
- On 22 December 1793 republican troops under General Lazare Hoche defeated the Habsburg army under Field Marshal Dagobert Sigmund von Wurmser in the Battle of Froeschwiller. This success helped to evict the Austrians from French territory.
- On 6 August 1870, as a result of the Battle of Frœschwiller-Wœrth, the two Alsatian départements (apart from the area that subsequently became the Territory of Belfort) as well as most of the Moselle département were lost. They would remain under German control until 1918.
