The Gebweiler district was a German district from 1871 to 1920 in the Upper Alsace district of the realm of Alsace-Lorraine . The area of ​​the district is now part of the Thann-Guebwiller arrondissement of the French department of Haut-Rhin .

history

After Alsace-Lorraine fell to the German Empire as a result of the Frankfurt Peace Treaty , the Gebweiler district was formed in 1871 from the Guebwiller arrondissement, which had been French until then . In 1917, the county seat was due to the war of Gebweiler after Rufach laid. 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, it again belonged to the French state as Arrondissement Guebwiller .

During the Second World War , Alsace-Lorraine was under German occupation from 1940 to 1944. During this time, the area of ​​the Gebweiler arrondissement formed the district of Gebweiler . It was not annexed in the sense of international law , but was subordinate to the Gauleiter for the Gau Baden in Karlsruhe . Between November 1944 and February 1945, the district was liberated by Allied forces and returned to France.
