History :
Since the beginning of its history, which dates back to 788 with the first name Schaftofesheim, our village was subject to numerous changes. He had many conflicts, from its geographical location and the political and economic issues in the region...
Until the mid-seventeenth century, Alsace is part of the Germanic Empire. In 1648, Alsace became french and, in 1870, with the war between France and Germany, it turns again on the German side.
During the First World War, young people of Oberschaeffolsheim are mobilized in the German army. Then finally, in 1918, Alsace becomes French.
This belonging is once again short-lived: in 1939, the region is once again occupied by the neighboring nation. During this war, an Italian prisoner, Antonio Bertola, is sent to the Petit Schelishans to work the fields and care for horses. . . See Antonio come back here.
Since 1945 Alsace and our village are permanently attached to France. .
Today, with its small school, her nice church, its inevitables storks, it city hall park, and it quiet bike path, our little village as typical regional charm and welcomes you with open arms!
