The district of Thann was from 1871 to 1920 a German district in the district of Upper Alsace in the realm of Alsace-Lorraine . The area of the district is now essentially in the Arrondissement of Thann-Guebwiller in the French department of Haut-Rhin .
history
After Alsace-Lorraine fell to the German Empire as a result of the Frankfurt Peace Treaty , the district of Thann was formed in 1871 from the then French arrondissement of Thann . In 1917, the county seat was due to the war from Thann to Rufach laid. 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 belonged again to the French state as Arrondissement Thann . During the Second World War , Alsace-Lorraine was under German occupation from 1940 to 1944 (see: CdZ area ). During this time, the area of the Arrondissement of Thann formed the district of Tann . 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 then returned to France.
