Eckwersheim

Eckwersheim is a commune, in the Bas-Rhin department in Grand Est in north-eastern France. It is around 11 km (7 mi) north of Strasbourg.

On 14 November 2015 the commune was the location of a derailment during testing of a TGV train along the LGV Est high-speed rail line. Eleven people were killed and 42 others were injured after the train caught fire and plunged into the Marne–Rhine Canal.

Engraver Henry Wolf was born in Eckwersheim, only to eventually live and die in New York City.
