Horbourg-Wihr (French pronunciation: (listen); German: Horburg-Weier; Alsatian: Horwrig-Wihr) is a commune in the Haut-Rhin department in Grand Est in north-eastern France. It is located near Colmar. The commune was the former site of the Gallo-Roman Argentovaria, whose name is related to the word for swamp. The County of Horburg, named after the principal town, came into possession of the Counts of Württemberg in 1324 and, like the county of Montbéliard and the lordship of Reichenweier, formed part of their property on the left bank of the Rhine. During the Reformation, the dukes of Württemberg introduced protestantism, and the area became Lutheran. The following places were part of the county of Horburg: Algolsheim, Andolsheim, Appenweier, Bischweier, Dürrenenzen, Fortschweier, Horburg, Munzenheim, Sundhofen, Volgelsheim, and Wolfgangen.
