== Toponymy ==
From Goten hause, a possession of the nearby [[Weissenburg Abbey, Alsace|abbey of Wissembourg]]; another Kutzenhausen was located near [[Drusenheim]] and probably owes its name to the former abbey of Arnulfsau. In the past, the abbeys were also called Goten hause, an old form spelt Chuzichusi.

== History ==
The municipality of Kutzenhausen originated from the former bailliage<ref>[https://francearchives.fr/fr/facomponent/319fe91a8cb776ca6acd6c5e1fa0d8d50d3b8dc4 Bailliage de Kutzenhausen, 1345-1789]. En 1789, à la [[Révolution française]], le [[Bailliage et sénéchaussée|bailliage]] fut élevé au rang de commune</ref> and, at the beginning of the 19th century, included the towns of Niederkutzenhausen and Feldbach, now the village of Kutzenhausen, Oberkutzenhausen, Merkwiller and Hoelschloch.<ref>[https://www.kutzenhausen.fr/index.php/le-patrimoine/historique-de-la-commune Historique de la commune]</ref><ref>{{Base Mérimée|IA00118906|Présentation de la commune de Kutzenhausene}}</ref> In 1888, these two districts formed the new commune of Merkwiller, and Kutzenhausen was transferred from the arrondissement of Wissembourg to the [[arrondissement of Haguenau-Wissembourg]] on 1 January 2015.

In France, the first oil wells (mainly oil sands) were sunk in Kutzenhausen. Oil production, together with a refinery, continued until the 1970s.
