History
As documented in the General State Archives in Karlsruhe, Kippenheim, then Chippinheim, was first mentioned in 763.
The Celts were probably the first to settle down in Kippenheim. The power of the Celtic tribes was broken by the Germans advancing from the North Sea region and the Roman attacks from the south.
