Key Information

Geography

[edit]

Sarraltroff is located near the border with the Bas-Rhin department.

The territory of the municipality borders on those of 6 municipalities : Gœrlingen, Hilbesheim, Sarrebourg, Dolving, Oberstinzel et Hellering-lès-Fénétrange.

History

[edit]

At the time of the Duchy of Lorraine, the village was part of the seigneury 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 de Dabo died without an heir. The bishoprics of Metz and Strasbourg took back their fief and Sarreck then became the property of La Petite-Pierre and then the Lutzelbourgs.[4]

The Thirty Years War did not spare Sarraltroff. It is probably the troops of Bernard of Saxe-Weimar who destroyed the village after the siege of Sarrebourg.[5]
