history

Territorial Affiliation

Garburg belonged to the Westhofen Office of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg . With France's reunification policy under King Louis XIV , the Westhofen and Garburg offices came under French sovereignty from 1661. In the 18th century, Garburg no longer belonged to the Westhofen office, which after the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , 1736 fell to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte , the Hereditary Prince and later Landgrave Ludwig (IX) of Hessen-Darmstadt . As a result of the upheaval started by the French Revolution , Garburg became French, again German through the Peace of Frankfurt in 1871, French again after the First World War and again German during the Second World War from 1940 to 1945.
