history

Guérin is in a zone of numerous archaeological finds. Remains of a building from antiquity , coins and pottery shards have come to light during excavations.

In the Ancien Régime , the parish was part of the Archpriesthood of Sadirac in the Bazas diocese . During the French Revolution , the constitutional clergy decided that Guérin would retain the status of parish office. Nevertheless, the rectory and its garden were sold as a national property.

When the Second World War broke out , the population of Alsace was evacuated. Residents of the Obersaasheim community were admitted to Guérin and Romestaing.

Population development

After records began, the population rose to a peak of around 495 by the middle of the 19th century. In the following period, the size of the community fell to around 215 inhabitants during short recovery phases by the 1990s, before a phase of moderate growth began.
