In eighth- and ninth-century records the village appears as Lithaim.
In around 1140 Königsbrück Abbey was founded here, a Cistercian nunnery, dissolved during the French Revolution.
Before the Rhine was channeled, the landscape here was marshy and criss-crossed by branches of the river. Accordingly, the settlement is constructed on warfts.
