Location of the district of Diedenhofen-Ost

The Diedenhofen-Ost district was a German district in the Lorraine district of the realm of Alsace-Lorraine from 1901 to 1920 . The area of ​​the district is today essentially in the Arrondissement Thionville of the French department of Moselle .

history

After Alsace-Lorraine fell to the German Empire through the Frankfurt Peace Treaty , the Diedenhofen district existed since 1871 . This district was divided into the two districts of Diedenhofen-Ost and Diedenhofen-West in 1901 . Diedenhofen remained the district town for both districts. After the end of the First World War , the district was occupied by France in 1918 and, with the entry into force of the Versailles Treaty on January 10, 1920 , belonged to the French state as the Arrondissement Thionville-Est .

During the Second World War , Alsace-Lorraine was under German occupation from 1940 to 1944. During this time, the area of ​​the Thionville-Est arrondissement initially formed the Diedenhofen-Ost district . On December 1, 1940, the district was merged again with the neighboring district of Diedenhofen-West to form a district of Diedenhofen . The district area was not annexed in the sense of international law , but was part of the CdZ area of ​​Lorraine . This was subordinate to the Gauleiter for the Gau Saarpfalz (from 1942 Westmark ) in Saarbrücken . Between November and December 1944, the district was occupied by Allied forces and returned to France. The two pre-war arrondissements Thionville-Est and Thionville-Ouest were again established by France .
