HUNINGEN , a town of Germany, in
Alsace

Lorraine
 , situated on the left bank of the Rhine, on a branch of the Rhine-Rhone canal, and 3 M. N. of Basel by
rail
 . Pop. (19o5) 3304 The Rhine is here crossed by an
iron
  railway
bridge
 . The town boasts a handsome Roman Catholic
church
 , and has manufactures of
silk
 , watches, chemicals and cigars. Huningen is an ancient place and
grew
  up round a stronghold placed to guard the passage of the Rhine. It was wrested from the Imperialists by the duke of Lauenburg in 1634, and subsequently passed by purchase to Louis XIV. of France. It was fortified by Vauban (16791681) and a
bridge
  was built across the Rhine. The fortress capitulated to the Austrians on the 26th of August 1815 and the works were shortly afterwards dismantled. In 1871, the town passed, with
Alsace
 -
Lorraine
 , to the German
empire
 .
