Geography
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
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]
