history

After Alsace-Lorraine fell to the German Empire as a result of the Frankfurt Peace Treaty , the Rappoltsweiler district was formed in 1871 from the previously French Arrondissement Ribeauvillé . 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 again as the Arrondissement Ribeauvillé .

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