The municipality of Mutzig (6,042 inhabitants in 2018; 801 ha) is located west of Molsheim.
Mutzig, first mentioned in the 10th century, became part of the Principality-Bishopric of Strasbourg in 1308.
In the 19th century, several industries were established in Mutzig, among which a weapon manufactory located on the grounds of the former castle of Cardinal of Rohan. In 1893, while Alsace was part of the German Empire, Kaiser Wilhelm II ordered the construction of Fort Kaiser Wilhelm II, north of the town, as well as military barracks.
