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.

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 .
