- The History of Alsace begins when the area was inhabited by nomadic hunters in antiquity, and includes several changes in political control of the area between Germany and France.
Pre-Roman Alsace
By 1500 BC, Celts began to settle in Alsace, clearing and cultivating the land. Alsace is a plain surrounded by the Vosges mountains and the Black Forest mountains . It creates Foehn winds which, along with natural irrigation, contributes to the fertility of the soil. In a world of agriculture, Alsace has always been a rich region which explains why it suffered so many invasions and annexations in its history.
Roman Alsace
By 58 BC, the Romans had invaded and established Alsace as a center of viticulture. To protect this highly valued industry, the Romans built fortifications and military camps that evolved into various communities which have been inhabited continuously to the present day. While part of the Roman Empire, Alsace was part of Germania Superior.

My 3X great grandparents immigrated from Alsace in 1872. Their name was Lueckel.....and they ended up in Spencer Co Indiana along the Ohio River. I've always been curious why a family would pack up and move halfway across the planet to a strange land. They ended up being upper middle class and successful farmers. This is absolutely fascinating. Thank you for sharing this video.
This is where my family started going back to the dukes of 1076
My family is originally from the Alsace, Seltz, France to be exact. My 4th Great Grandparents left with their 5 children in Nov. of 1852. They headed for the port of Le Havre in Normandy and hopped aboard a 3 mast Barque called the Sarah Bridge, captained by a Capt. Studivent. They were at sea for 133 days total, finally landing in New Orleans on March 14th, 1853. From New Orleans, they took a steamboat up the Mississippi, over to the Ohio River and made their way through Ohio, to Stark County, right outside Massillon. In 1865, my 3rd G-GPA and his family, left Ohio by railroad for Richland County, Illinois. He arrived just 3 weeks before Lincoln was assassinated. Here in Richland County, he bought 80 acres of timber and started clearing land. The forest was infested with bears and wolves, beasts in which he lead a war against. The prairie grass grew up to 15 feet or more in those days, so you had to be in your toes at all times! My family is still here in Illinois to this day. I'm 5th gen. American born.
"The forest was infested with bears and wolves, beasts he led a war against." The bears and wolves were living in the forest for a very LONG time before European beasts infested the Americas and slaughtered indigenous people and animals living there for thousands of years.
The human infestation of planet Earth by humans, under the psychotic rule of the wealthiest men, has our planet on the precipice of irreversible climate change.
I wouldn't brag about your ancestor moving onto what was Native American land stolen by white European invaders, clearing the land and "waging war" on the animals who had been living there. It is exactly that mindset that has led humanity to the brink of self-destruction and major damage to the Earth.
Mine, too. Proud of it.
My husband's 3rd or 4th great grandparents came from alsace france and ended up along the same route in the US around the same time
lovely greetings to all Alsace-descendants in the whole world !
Be glad, your ancestors emigrated in time ; they escaped 3 wars.. 1870-71,
1914-18, 1939-45.
@any web that's why they left the Alsace. My 4th Great Grandparents were born in 1800 and 1810, in the region known as "above the forest". (Seltz, Niederroedern, Oberroedern, Forsteld, etc.)
Our family records indicate that Martin Sr. and Katherine Kocher (4th greats) did not want their sons conscripted into the French army. Even though the area was French ruled, they were German in heart, but that's the thing about the Alsace! They packed up and left Seltz in Nov of 1852 and arrived in New Orleans, Louisiana in March of 1853. They spent roughly 12 years in Stark County, Ohio until my 3rd Great Grandfather, Joseph, purchased property here in Southern Illinois in 1865 just the weeks before Lincoln was assassinated. We've been here since!
(WIKIPEDIA)
In response to the "hundred day" restoration of Napoleon I of France in 1815, Alsace along with other frontier provinces of France was occupied by foreign forces from 1815 to 1818,[31] including over 280,000 soldiers and 90,000 horses in Bas-Rhin alone. This had grave effects on trade and the economy of the region since former overland trade routes were switched to newly opened Mediterranean and Atlantic seaports.
The population grew rapidly, from 800,000 in 1814 to 914,000 in 1830 and 1,067,000 in 1846. The combination of economic and demographic factors led to hunger, housing shortages and a lack of work for young people. Thus, it is not surprising that people left Alsace, not only for Paris - where the Alsatian community grew in numbers, with famous members such as Baron Haussmann - but also for more distant places like Russia and the Austrian Empire, to take advantage of the new opportunities offered there: Austria had conquered lands in Eastern Europe from the Ottoman Empire and offered generous terms to colonists as a way of consolidating its hold on the new territories. Many Alsatians also began to sail to the United States, settling in many areas from 1820 to 1850.[32] In 1843 and 1844, sailing ships bringing immigrant families from Alsace arrived at the port of New York. Some settled in Illinois, many to farm or to seek success in commercial ventures: for example, the sailing ships Sully (in May 1843) and Iowa (in June 1844) brought families who set up homes in northern Illinois and northern Indiana. Some Alsatian immigrants were noted for their roles in 19th-century American economic development.
I’ve lived in Alsace 23 years, was married to an Alsatian for 21 & our 3 kids are born here.
Alsatian is NOT taught in French public school. My children did bilingual French-GERMAN. This is considered more useful and a no-brainer for Alsatian speaking children. German is the second language spoken here.
Alsatian is a German dialect similar to Schweibish spoken in the Black Forest just over the border.
I have encountered parents who mistakenly believed that the bilingual program is for Alsatian and not German. School is still taught with the French curriculum and children have to be fluent in French already (German speaking children who don’t know French are put in a separate program so it’s not dual-immersion)
There is an EU wide program to encourage schoolchildren in border regions to learn the language of their neighbors.
"There is an EU wide program to encourage schoolchildren in border regions to learn the language of their neighbors."
German as a foreign language is not a substitute for German as a mother tongue. In the past, France has done everything to extinguish the German language and the German identity of the inhabitants of Alsace and Lorraine. The current non -binding offer to learn German as a foreign language is only an alibi that is supposed to distract from the French menticide - the extinction of the German soul.
The German cultural, ethnic, and linguistic roots of Alsace, are quite clear.
But it belongs to France!!
Their statement pretty much proves who Alsace belongs to

C'est une réalité. Mais je doute que cette réalité soit également historiquement juste. L'Alsace était à l'origine une province allemande avec des résidents allemands. La France a violé cette province. Et ce n'est pas suffisant. La France a tout fait pour éliminer la langue allemande et l'identité allemande de ses résidents. Nous voyons le résultat aujourd'hui. Ses frères et sœurs alemanniques à l'est du Rhin ne peuvent plus communiquer avec la SLA.

Yes, but not as legitimate property, but as the stolen goods.
🤔
my family comes from strasbourg france and moved to cleveland Ohio usa in the 1840's
The photos are wildly inappropriate, depicting scenes hundreds of years distant from the time frames in the narration.
You have to remember that until 1946 (and for a long while after), the Alsatians spoke a Germanic language that resembles Swiss German (very closely), and only because of the war did the French try to suppress this into near extinction. That said; in the last two decades, the French have tried to remedy this by making sure the language does not die out, to the benefit of people who know both French and Swiss German (and possibly German) in a borderland where Germany, France and Switzerland meet, is great (especially for commerce).
I visited the US years ago and met many people who had ancestors from Alsace, and they all had the notion they were of French culture. That is not correct. Alsatian is closer to Bavarian and Swiss culture, but through years of different annexations have always tried to maintain a good relationship with all cultures that surround them (a proper melting pot).
Today, the Alsatians are mainly French-speaking, and hardly anyone but the elderly speak the old Germanic dialect.
Sadly because the architecture is typically German, especially those beautiful German medieval timber frame houses in the Alcace-Lorraine area, which, in German was called Elsass-Lothringen.
Careful of the pronunciation of HAG-EN-OH. Strasbourg sounds more like “straus” (i.e. Levi Strauss). Saying “strass” sounds too German.
Yes, Alsace is a pronunciation nightmare but in some ways, 0:03 native English speakers have an advantage. Schwindratzheim, Niederschaeffolsheim & Breuschwickersheim. Have fun asking directions! 😂
Do not forget Mittelschaeffolsheim 😅😂

Long live Franco-German enemy Franco-German!
History is not a truth based on facts, but an interpretation based on national interests. It is therefore not surprising that French and German historiography is completely opposed with regard to Alsace and Lorraine. France then tries to legitimize the theft of the old German areas with a German population. It therefore transforms the Germanic Francs into a ancestors of today's French, although the genetic proportion of the Franks in the French population is only marginely. France is hostile to Germans with a Germanic predominance, but claims the Germanic kings of the Franconian Empire as its ancestors. He describes the Germans as Alemanni, but sees the alsates alemannic as French. He forced Alsatians and Lorraine and interpreted the result as the consent of populations to France. Only the Germanic DNA of its residents cannot manipulate and deny France. These are clear facts.

The language of the song is Moselle Franconian, a German dialect that is spoken along the Moselle and also in Luxembourg.
So,Alsace is French!!!

And before the French conquests under Louis XIV
the Alsace of German for centuries. Even after the annexation by France, his inhabitants were German. The French have done everything to extinguish the German language and the German identity of its residents. But the German DNA remains.

Part 1:
We're talking past each other. Nation and the members of a state are not identical units. One of the nation includes everyone who is of the same origin and share the same language and culture. A nation does not depend on statehood. German settlers in Eastern Europe, in the Baltic States and Russia are also part of the German nation.
The German nation is as old as the French nation. Both developed according to the division of the Franconian Empire. The different state structure does not change that either. The realm of Germans - more precisely: the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation - was a federal state. France, on the other hand, developed into a central state early on. The German nation has formed from the Germanic tribes of the eastern part of the Franconian Empire. This included the Franks, the Alemanni, the Bavarians, the Saxons, the fishing, the Frisians and the Thuringians. The Germanic tribes in other European countries are genetically related, but are not part of the German core family. The romanized Gauls, on the other hand, are strangers for us.
Hymn of the so -called Danube Swabians
1st verse:
Greetings to you,
Watch up, it calls time!
Let us boast, let us praise,
Our people unity!
We are sons of a people:
German language, German species,
Who kept up the fathers
We have been faithful.

Part 2:
The French nation is a construction of the Jakobiners. The French nationals are not related to Germanic genetics with the romanized Gauls. The DNA of French nationals with Germanic roots are related to us Germans. They belong to the Germanic family, even if the French nationalists want to persuade them.
