  • The Jewish Presence in Soufflenheim
    THE JEWISH PRESENCE IN SOUFFLENHEIM By Robert Wideen : 2018 Soufflenheim Genealogy Research and History www.soufflenheimgenealogy.com Jews are first mentioned in Alsace in the 12th century. There were 522 families in 1689 and 3,910 families in 1784, including four families totaling 19 people in Soufflenheim. By 1790, the Jewish population in Alsace had grown to approximately 22,500, about 3% of the population. They maintained their own customs, spoke Yiddish, and followed Talmudic laws enforced by their Rabbis. There was a Jewish presence in Soufflenheim since the 15th century, and probably earlier. By the late 1700’s there was a Jewish street in the village, a Jewish lane on the outskirts, a district known as Juden Weeg, and a Jewish path in the Judenweg area of the Haguenau Forest leading to the Jewish Forest Road. Their influence on the local dialect is documented in Yiddish in the Speech of Soufflenheim. Jewish Communities of Alsace, Including those of the Middle Ages.

    ART NOUVEAU AND THE RESISTANCE TO GERMANIZATION IN ALSACE-LORRAINE, CA. 1898-1914 Peter Clericuzio University of Pennsylvania Between August of 1870 and May of 1871, the French and the Germans fought each other in a conflict whose effects reverberated for the next fifty years. The Franco-Prussian War, sometimes known as the “war that split France and united Germany,”1 had its most long-lasting consequences in the region of Alsace-Lorraine (Fig. 1). Grudgingly handed over to the Germans by the French as one of the spoils of victory, Alsace-Lorraine became the focus of a complex cultural debate that continued at least until the end of World War II. Alsace-Lorraine was returned to France in 1919 (and—except for a brief re-annexation by the Nazis—has remained French territory ever since), but the legacy of its precarious geopolitical situation still can be seen today in the unique sets of laws, customs, and traditions that survive.2 In the decade and a half preceding World War I, the debate over the identity of Alsace- Lorraine and its ties to both France and Germany intensified with the appearance of the style known as Art Nouveau, particularly around the city of Nancy that was located barely thirty kilometres from the post-1871 border established by the Treaty of Frankfort. In Nancy, Art Nouveau became at once an emblem of defiance of the political reality that Alsace-Lorraine was now a German province and a rallying point for the hope that France might someday recapture these “lost provinces.” As the new rulers systematically began to physically and culturally rebuild Alsace-Lorraine after 1871 with a more recognizably German cultural character—bringing it in line with the rest of the Second Reich—many of the regionʼs residents resisted their efforts.

  • THE POTASH DEPOSITS of ALSACE. by HOYT S
    THE POTASH DEPOSITS OF ALSACE. By HOYT S. INTRODUCTION. When potash was discovered in Alsace in 1904 the monopoly of the potash industry that had rested with the owners of the great deposits in north-central Germany since 1860 was broken. The new field, although less extensive than that of Germany, was very soon recog­ nized as having several important advantages over the older developed field. The Alsatian deposits underlie a large area in exceedingly regular beds, and the salts are on the average remarkably rich in potash. The deposits consist of a simple mixture of potassium and sodium chlorides, known as sylvinite, with very little other soluble material. This mixture of crude salts requires only the simplest chemi­ cal treatment in order to purify it into the higher grades of potash salts. The field itself is somewhat farther from ocean ports than the north-central German region, but as it lies in a well-developed part of the Rhine Valley, directly on the routes of main-line water and rail transportation, this difference is not a serious handicap. It is natural, therefore, that the first mine opened in the new Alsatian field at once took third or fourth rank as a producer with all the older Ger­ man mines, a position it has since been well able to maintain. It has seemed a strange coincidence that the only two really large deposits of soluble potash salts that have been found in the whole world should have been opened within .the domain controlled by a single empire. The return of Alsace to France now divides the monopoly of this important natural resource, and general interest in the details of the Alsatian field and its prospects for the future has increased.

En décembre 1977, De Budderlade, revue issue du bouillonnement de mai 1968, publiait une étude de trois pages denses sur « le pouvoir historique en Alsace ». Etaient passés en revue les producteurs, l’édition, la consommation de l’histoire d’Alsace, avec une dizaine de notes. Vue cavalière, plutôt programme d’étude, l’article a pu amener dans l’Encyclopédie de l’Alsace des articles variés qui étendaient le champ étudié : la Fédération des Sociétés d’histoire et d’archéologie d’Alsace, La Revue d’Alsace, la Conservation des Monuments d’Alsace1. D’autres travaux exploraient le rapport entre « Idéologie et histoire locale », l’administration nazie et les sociétés d’histoire durant la seconde guerre mondiale en Alsace », ou exposaient la position « des Histoires allemandes et l’Alsace » grâce à Alfred Wahl3.
