History
To Ier and IIe centuries, Roman artisans operate, near the current village, a dispensary specializing in the production of brick-red pottery, known as "sigillated ceramic". They make tens of thousands of vases, as evidenced by the many shards, fragments of molds and cooking accessories discovered on the site. But it was not until the year 1000 to see the locality of Dunginisheim appear in the texts. Possession of the bishopric of Strasbourg, the village is part of the provost of Ochsentein, attached to the bailiwick of Schirmeck. The population reached 1 453 inhabitants under the Second Empire. There is then a forge hammer, known as "Breuschwerk", a rolling mill, three hammers with hydraulic motor, a sawmill, a tile factory, a lime kiln, quarries, three oil mills and a potato starch factory. Now, most of the working population works outside the village, which is experiencing demographic decline.

- 1 Our Lady of Schiebenberg – North of the village, the Schiebenberg is dominated by an imposing votive statue of Notre-Dame, solemnly inaugurated on . It originates from the events of 1870, during which the mayor, the priest and the sacristan were arrested by the Prussians for connivance with the enemy. In fact, the ringing of the Angelus coincided with an attack by the snipers on Mutzig, and was interpreted as a signal by the Prussian staff. The inhabitants having been released, a statue of the Virgin was erected in thanks.
The Virgin and Child - Chapel of the Virgin – This small sanctuary dedicated to Notre-Dame was particularly frequented by pregnant women and by people with ringworm. Sold as national property during the Revolution and restored in 1804, the chapel consists of a short nave with two axes and a choir with cut sides. Inside are two stained-glass windows from the Berges workshops in Toulouse, a millstone serving as an altar and a Madonna and Child, baroque style, which adorns the entrance to the choir.
- 2 Church of Saints Simon and Jude – Begun under the Restoration, this neoclassical building, which replaces an old building - near the cemetery - considered too small and dilapidated - includes a semi-engaged bell tower with a portico, a spacious nave of six spans and a narrower polygonal choir. The pediment of the main portal, supported by two Doric columns, mentions the German translation of a verse from the Old Testament: "This place is none other than the house of God, it is the gate of heaven." The church was restored in 1987 after a serious fire. The organ of the church comes from the Seltz workshops, this instrument was transformed in 1896 by Franz Kriess who installed an independent mechanical console there and replaced the positive with an expressive narrative. The neoclassical sideboard has three straight turrets framing two flat-faces, and a back positive with two turrets and a central flat-face.
- Former Jacquel factories – Attested around 1600, the "Breuschmühle" was originally a paper mill established on the Bruche, upstream from Dinsheim. This mill was acquired in 1903 by the industrialist Frédéric Jacquel, from Natzwiller, who built a cotton weaving there which he completed in 1908 with a spinning mill. The buildings were then occupied by a roller shutter factory known as Fermetures Weber. Founded in 1898, this flourishing company made the locality known throughout the world, before moving in 1994 to Saint-Pierre, in the Bas-Rhin.
