List of simultaneous churches in Alsace
The list of simultaneous churches in Alsace contains all 50 simultaneous churches still in existence in Alsace .
history
During the Reformation , Alsace was part of the German Empire . A large part of the local rulers introduced the Reformation in their territories in the course of the 16th century. These included: the Palatinate , the Duchy of Württemberg , the Hanau-Lichtenberg , the county Leiningen-Westerburg , the County of Nassau-Saarbrücken , the county Saarwerden that rule Assweiler that rule Diemeringen that barony Finstingen that rule Fleckenstein , the rule Rappoltstein , the rule Schöneck , the rule Sickingen and other imperial knighthood territories , as well as the cities of Colmar , Haguenau , Mulhouse , Münster , Strasbourg and Weißenburg . This historical area of Alsace is now part of Alsace and Lorraine, and mainly to the Haute-Rhin and Bas-Rhin departments .
In the course of the reunion policy of the Roman Catholic King Louis XIV, begun in 1679 , a large part of these areas fell under French sovereignty. Part of this policy was the reintroduction of the Roman Catholic denomination . The church buildings were partly re-Catholicized, partly converted into simultaneous churches . With the economic boom and the increasing population in the 19th century, a policy was followed where it was possible to build a second church building and to separate the denominations spatially. Nevertheless, 50 simultaneous churches have survived to this day.
