After Alsace-Lorraine fell to the German Empire through the Peace Treaty of Frankfurt , the district of Mulhouse was formed in 1871 from the previously French arrondissement of Mulhouse . 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 the arrondissement of Mulhouse .
During the Second World War , Alsace-Lorraine was under German occupation from 1940 to 1944. During this time, the area of the arrondissement Mulhouse formed the district of Mulhouse . 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.
