The District Hagenau was from 1871 to 1920, a German district in the district of Lower Alsace of the Empire State Alsace-Lorraine . The area of the district is now in the Haguenau-Wissembourg arrondissement of the French department of Bas-Rhin .
history
After Alsace-Lorraine fell to the German Empire as a result of the Frankfurt Peace Treaty , the Hagenau district was formed in 1871 from the previously French arrondissement of Haguenau. 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 of Haguenau .
During the Second World War , Alsace-Lorraine was under German occupation from 1940 to 1944. During this time, the area of the Haguenau arrondissement formed the Hagenau district . 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.
