Schiltigheim
Schiltigheim (French: Schiltigheim, pronounced [ʃiltiɡajm]; German: Schiltigheim; Alsatian: Schelige [ˈʃelikə]) is a commune located north of the city of Strasbourg in the Bas-Rhin department within the Grand Est region of north-eastern France.
Schiltigheim is located in the historical and cultural region of Alsace which has been administratively integrated into the European Collectivity of Alsace since January 1, 2021.
The inhabitants are called Schilikois in French and Scheligemer in Alsatian.
Schiltigheim is the largest suburb of the city of Strasbourg, and it borders Strasbourg to the north. In 2023, Schiltigheim was the third-most populous commune in Bas-Rhin (after Strasbourg and Haguenau), with a total population of 34,708.
Former names of Schiltigheim include Skitingsbouhel in 845, Scildincheim in 884, Schiltencheim in 1004, or Schiltenkeim in 1275, and even the Frenchified form Chilthiqueim in 1750. Other variations in the 9th century include Schildenchen, Skitingsdtbuel, Sciltenheim, Sckiltencheim, Scildenheim, Schiltingheim, Schiltenheim, Schilckenhaim, Schilken.
In the Strasbourg area, Schilick is a familiar name used to refer to Schiltigheim among both French and German speakers.
Schiltigheim's origin dates back to at least the 9th century, forming around Sciltung castle, established by a Frankish warror, and Bothebür chapel located on the last hills north of Strasbourg and extending along the slopes down toward the Rhine. The Sciltung castle was located on the hill of the present-day Castle Park in Schiltigheim. Bothebür chapel's exact location is unknown but it may have been located near the present-day Protestant Church of Schiltigheim.
Schiltigheim's development is closely linked to the 14th century arrival of the expelled inhabitants of the ancient village of Adelshoffen who were granted permission to settle in lower Schiltigheim between the present-day streets of La Glacière and Adelshoffen.
