Kirrberg (in French pronounced as /kiʁbɛʁɡ/) is a commune in the northwest of the Bas-Rhin department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.[2] It lies 18km (11miles) to the west of Phalsbourg.
The earliest surviving record, naming the village as Villa Teurino, dates from 512. The first appearance of a precursor to the present name occurs in 1501 with the name Kirpberg.
During the Thirty Years' War the village was almost entirely destroyed by fire.
