Guided tour: Sélestat and the German Empire
Following the Franco-German conflict of 1870-1871, Alsace and Moselle were annexed to the German Empire and formed the "Reichsland". At that time, great works were undertaken on the new annexed territories, such as the construction of the "Neustadt" in Strasbourg or the German quarter in Metz. In Sélestat too, the German imprint is present: water tower, post office, barracks... Come and discover the buildings erected between 1871 and 1914 in Sélestat and the characteristics of the so-called Wilhelmian architecture.
