Eguisheim is a commune in the Haut-Rhin department in Alsace in north-eastern France.
Eguisheim produces Alsace wine of high quality. The commune is largely German-speaking.
Human presence in the area as early as the Paleolithic age is testified by archaeological excavations. In early historic times it was inhabited by the Gaul tribe of the Senones; the Romans conquered the village and developed here the cultivation of wine.
In the early Middle Ages, the Dukes of Alsace built here a castle (th century) around which the current settlement developed. The commune was the alleged birthplace of Pope Leo IX in June 1002.
The village centre receives many tourists, as the Alsace "Wine Route" passes the village. The village is also a member of the Les Plus Beaux Villages de France ("The most beautiful villages of France") association.

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
But I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
Well I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fucking special, special
And I wish I was special, special
But I'm a creep
But I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
Well I don't belong here
You, you,
Run, run, you run
Run, run, run, run, run, run
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special, yes, you are
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
Well I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
But I'm a creep
But I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
