Strassbourg -- Turism
Strasbourg is the capital and principal city of the Alsace région of northeastern France, with approximately 650,000 inhabitants in the metropolitan area in 1999. Located close to the border with Germany, it is the préfecture (capital) of the Bas-Rhin département.
The city's Germanic name means "town (at the crossing) of roads". Stras- is cognate to the English street from the German equivalent of the word, Straße, while -bourg from the German -burg ("fortress, town") is cognate to the English borough.
Strasbourg is, among other things, the seat of the Council of Europe, of the European Court of Human Rights, of the European Ombudsman and of the European Parliament, though the latter also holds sessions in Brussels.
Strasbourg is an important centre of manufacturing and engineering, as well as of road, rail and river communications. The Strasbourg port is the second largest on the Rhine after Duisburg. The city is the seat of the Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine.
At the site of Strasbourg, the Romans established a military outpost and named it Argentoratum. It belonged to the Germania Superior Roman province. From the 4th century, Strasbourg was the seat of the Archbishopric Strasbourg.
The Alamanni fought a battle against Rome in Strasbourg in 357. They were defeated by Julian, later Emperor of Rome, and their king Chonodomarius was taken prisoner. On January 2, 366 the Alamanni crossed the frozen Rhine in large numbers, to invade the Roman Empire. Early in the 5th century the Alamanni appear to have crossed the Rhine, conquered, and then settled what is today Alsace and a large part of Switzerland.
The town was occupied successively in the 5th century by Alamanni, Huns and Franks, who gave it its present name. In 842, Strasbourg was the site of the Oath of Strasbourg, the trilingual text of which is considered to contain, besides Latin and German, also the oldest written document in the French language. A major commercial centre, the town came under control of the Holy Roman Empire in 923, through the homage paid by the Duke of Lorraine to German King Henry I. The early history of Strasbourg consists of a long conflict between its bishop and its citizens. The citizens emerged victorious after the Battle of Oberhausbergen in 1262, when King Philip of Swabia granted the city the status of an Imperial Free City.
