Ohlungen (French pronunciation: [oluŋ(ɡ)ən]) is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.[3]

History

[edit]

Ohlungen was an Imperial Village (Reichsdorf) of the Holy Roman Empire. Within its jurisdiction was a former Imperial Hamlet (Reichsweiler) called Keffendorf. Both passed to France in the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. In November 1944, German occupiers expelled around 10% of the village population in anticipation of severe fighting in the area.
