THE ALSACE-MOSELLE MEMORIAL IN SCHIRMECK

Between 1870 and 1945, Alsacians and Mosellans (natives of the region) changed their nationality as many as four times as their borders became a flashpoint for Franco-German rivalry.

Visit the Alsace-Moselle Memorial and find out all about the region’s unique history; from life on the Maginot Line and the destruction of World War II, to Franco-German reconciliation and the reconstruction of Europe.

A brand new addition to the permanent exhibition that is dedicated to Europe, Chemins d’Europe, complements the visitor experience, providing a historical perspective of European history and European integration since 1945.

Monday - Sunday 09.30 - 18.00 (last entry 17.00)

Admission: Free for groups of visitors (normally € 7 per person) visiting the European Parliament during the same week upon presentation of a confirmation letter.

Both the parlamentarium Simone Veil located at the European Parliament in Strasbourg and the Alsace-Moselle Memorial in Schirmeck offer visitors a fascinating view of European politics and the symbolism of the region.

The new parlamentarium Simone Veil exhibition gives citizens of all ages a practical insight into the role of the European Parliament and the duty of its Members. Visitors can see the impact that European decision making has on their daily lives.
