194 famous people were born in Colmar, more of them business people than in most towns

Auguste Bartholdi (French sculptor and painter (1834–1904)) is the best known by our measure: 54 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Robin Risser and Ryad Boudebouz.

194 people born in Colmar have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 280 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, writers and artists: 47 of the 194. That is 24% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

Georges d’Andlau, born in 1390. The youngest on the list was born in 2004.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Colmar 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.
