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