==Name== During periods when Alsace-Lorraine was part of Germany (1871–1918, 1940–1945) the commune was known by its German name, Illkirch-Grafenstaden, with a single 'f' in place of the French 'ff'. Among French speakers from outside Alsace the commune is sometimes known colloquially as the shorter 'Illkirch'.
