History

A sketch of Dambach in 1663 by Matthäus Merian the Younger.

The village was first recorded in 1125 as Tambacum. In the thirteenth century, the Bishop of Strasbourg, Berthold I of Teck [de], made Dambach annex two local villages, Altenwiller and Oberkirch. The Chapelle of Saint-Sébastien [fr] is located in what used to be Oberkirch.[4]
