Sarre-Union is a town in the region Alsace.
Understand
The municipality is the reunion in 1794 of two former municipalities, Bouquenom (Bockenheim) and Ville-Neuve de Sarrewerden (Neu-Saarwerden), on both sides of the Saar; the revolutionary period of the National Convention earned it its name of Saar-Union. Saar-Union was francized in Saar Union after the First World War.
When the last Count of Sarrewerden died, Bouquenom was given as a fief to the Count of Moers, then to the Count of Nassau-Saarbrücken (1554-1559), a supporter of Lutheranism and who introduced the Reformation. In 1629, Duke François II of Lorraine Takes possession of the city and re-establishes the Catholic religion there. The Thirty Years' War causes terrible devastation and the continual passages of troops devastate the whole region. Sarre-Union castle is destroyed. In 1697, Bouquenom and Sarrewerden were attached directly to Lorraine, the Nassau therefore decided to rebuild a new capital Neusarrewerden (La Ville Neuve). Bouquenom became French in 1766 on the death of the last Duke of Lorraine: Stanislas. In the county, Prince Louis of Nassau Saarbrücken succeeded his father Guillaume-Henri in 1768. His clumsiness contributed to the incorporation of the county and of Neusarrewerden to France. For confessional reasons, the region was attached to Bas-Rhin by decree of
