history
Sarralbe was mentioned as Alba in 718 . The city was fortified in the 12th century and belonged to the Bishops of Metz from the 10th to the 16th centuries . It was then in ducal ownership until it was annexed to France in 1766 .
Between 1871 and 1918 Sarralbe part after the defeat of France in the Franco-German War under the name Saaralben as part of the Empire State Alsace-Lorraine to the German Empire . After the defeat of the Empire in World War I , Alsace-Lorraine was awarded to France in the Treaty of Versailles ; Saaralben was renamed Sarralbe again.
During the Second World War , Sarralbe was again under German administration when it was occupied by troops of the Wehrmacht of the now National Socialist German Empire and they took control of the place - again renamed Saaralben - and the rest of Alsace-Lorraine, even if the area de jure was not annexed; this did not happen until the end of the war. In 1944 the place fell back to France and Saaralben was renamed Sarralbe again.
Sarralbe was the junction of the double-track railway lines Saarburg – Saargemünd and Sarralbe – Chambrey . Passenger traffic in Sarralbe only took place on the connection Sarre-Union - Sarralbe – Kalhausen –Saargemünd, the other lines were closed or dismantled.
