history

After Alsace-Lorraine fell to the German Empire as a result of the Frankfurt Peace Treaty , the Hagenau district was formed in 1871 from the previously French arrondissement of Haguenau.

During the Second World War , Alsace-Lorraine was under German occupation from 1940 to 1944. During this time, the area of ​​the Haguenau arrondissement formed the Hagenau district . The district was not annexed in the sense of international law , but was subordinate to the Gauleiter for the Gau Baden in Karlsruhe .
