Illkirch-Graffenstaden, Commune in Grand Est region, France

Illkirch-Graffenstaden extends along the river Ill as the second largest suburb south of Strasbourg, forming part of the Eurometropolis administrative zone.

The settlement received toll rights at Grafenstaden ford in 1284 when Rudolf of Habsburg granted permission to a supporter in exchange for military assistance.

The transformation from railway manufacturing hub to modern service sector reflects the evolution of local industry while maintaining connections to regional traditions.

The town connects to Strasbourg and Colmar through regular rail service at Graffenstaden station, enabling efficient transportation throughout the Alsace region.

Former quarrying activities in the area created multiple small lakes that now serve as recreational swimming locations for local residents.
