Zellwiller had a port on theAndlau, where the barrels of wine passed in particular to Strasbourg. The coat of arms of the village keeps the trace of the possession of the place by the Lords of Landsberg who practiced hunting there.
At the start of the 20th century, the inhabitants lived mainly on mixed farming, including tobacco growing, as well as animal husbandry. Then, the cultivation of Pinot Noir developed, giving birth to the Rouge de Zellwiller.
