Sarraltroff (French pronunciation:[saʁaltʁɔf];German:Saaraltdorf) is acommune in theMoselledepartment inGrand Est in north-easternFrance.
Sarraltroff is located near the border with theBas-Rhin department.
The territory of the municipality borders on those of 6 municipalities :Gœrlingen,Hilbesheim,Sarrebourg,Dolving,Oberstinzel etHellering-lès-Fénétrange.
At the time of theDuchy of Lorraine, the village was part of theseigneury of Sarreck. It belonged to a large, forgotten area named Westrich, which Albert Eiselé called "ghost country" because its name has been forgotten.[3]
In 1225 Gertrude deDabo died without an heir. The bishoprics ofMetz andStrasbourg took back their fief and Sarreck then became the property ofLa Petite-Pierre and then theLutzelbourgs.[4]
TheThirty Years War did not spare Sarraltroff. It is probably the troops ofBernard of Saxe-Weimar who destroyed the village after the siege of Sarrebourg.[5]
