Ensisheim is a commune in the Haut-Rhin department of eastern France. The town is the birthplace of composer Léon Boëllmann. Its name has Germanic origins, reflecting the history of Alsace.
A Neolithic burial site near the town provides an early example of trepanation. In 1997, researchers from University of Freiburg studied the remains of a man who lived around 5100–4900 BC. His skull showed two trepanation procedures, both of which had partly or fully healed, showing that he survived the operations.
On 7 November 1492, a 127-kilogram meteorite fell in the town. The event was described by poet Sebastian Brant and later attracted many meteorite enthusiasts. The meteorite is still displayed at the Musée de la Régence.[1]
