The 7 famous people born in Molsheim, led by François-Joseph Westermann

François-Joseph Westermann (French general) is the best known by our measure: 18 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Joseph Armand von Nordmann and Marie Louise Amiet.

7 people born in Molsheim have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 14 people here; the rest aren’t listed because an article names somewhere else or no town, or a check couldn’t be completed.

Among its famous people, soldiers and sailors: 2 of the 7. That is 29% of the town’s list, against 4% across French towns.

François-Joseph Westermann, born in 1751. The youngest on the list was born in 1960.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Molsheim itself, matched by its INSEE code (a commune merged into it counts when the dates allow), whose French Wikipedia article agrees, and their English article too when they have one. A hospital or neighbourhood recorded without its commune isn’t matched. People who only lived here, adult performers and people known mainly for crimes aren’t listed.

Their Wikidata birthplace may be a hospital, a neighbourhood or a wider area, another commune, or missing, or their articles may not name a birthplace. We only list people the sources agree on; editing Wikidata or Wikipedia changes this page at the next refresh.
