history
The village appears in the texts in XIIIe century under the name of Hiltwigsgerüte in German and of S. Blasius AD rupem (Latin Saint-Blaise-the-Rock). It belongs to Rathsaumhausen zum Stein, lords of the Round of applause-of-the-Rock, but the counts d' Andlau also have possessions there, which is source of conflicts between the two families. The village becomes successively episcopal stronghold of évêché of Strasbourg, then property of the lords of the Valley-of-City, then barons de Bollwiller. It is finally repurchased by Andlau which hold it until the Revolution. It will belong to the department of the Vosges until 1871 and the annexation of Alsace: it returns then to the Germanic Empire of Guillaume. In 1919, with the treaty of Versailles, Saint-Blaise is attached to the Low-Rhine
