Bezirk Lothringen (today's French:Présidence[1] de la Lorraine, at the time translated into French:Département de la Lorraine[2] i.e. Department of Lorraine), also calledGerman Lorraine (Deutsch Lothringen), was a government region ("Bezirk") in the western part ofAlsace-Lorraine when it was part of theGerman Empire from 1871 to 1918.

History

[edit]

The Department or District of Lorraine differed from otherPrussian government regions, as it was not a simple governorate. As a corporation of self-rule of the pertaining rural and urban districts and cantons, it was similar to regions in the then neighbouring Bavaria (Palatinate), which had been formed after the French model départements into which that region had been divided under French annexation. Thus the district parliaments delegated deputies to the General Council (parliament), theBezirkstag von Lothringen (French:Conseil Général de la Lorraine). The capital of theDepartment of Lorraine wasMetz.

Territorial composition

[edit]

The department comprised thedistricts ("Kreise") of :

  1. Metz, independent city (Stadtkreis)
  2. "Kreis Bolchen", seated inBolchen (Boulay)
  3. "Kreis Château-Salins", seated inChâteau-Salins
  4. "Kreis Diedenhofen-Ost", seated inDiedenhofen (Thionville)
  5. "Kreis Diedenhofen-West", seated in Diedenhofen (Thionville)
  6. "Kreis Forbach", seated inForbach
  7. "Kreis Metz-Land", seated in Metz
  8. "Kreis Saarburg",[3] seated inSaarburg (Sarrebourg)
  9. "Kreis Saargemünd", seated inSaargemünd (Sarreguemines)

The department of Lorraine corresponds exactly to the currentdépartement ofMoselle. After the outbreak of the Second World War and the defeat of France in 1940, thedépartement of Moselle, renamedCdZ-Gebiet Lothringen, was added to theGau Westmark on 30 November 1940.[4]
