Presentation of Oberhausbergen

The municipality of Oberhausbergen (4,397 inhabitants in 2006; 379 ha) is located 5 km west of Strasbourg.

Oberhausbergen was mentioned for the first time in 763 as Hugesperg (Hugh's Hill), a place belonging to the Dukes of Alsace. In the 10th century, Richwin, Bishop of Strasbourg, transfered the domain to the St. Thomas Chapter.
On 8 March 1262, the militias of Strasbourg defeated in Oberhausbergen the cavalry of Bishop and lord of Strasbourg Walter of Geroldseck; their victory allowed the burghers to get rid of the rule of the Bishop.

After the incorporation of Alsace to Germany in 1871, Emperor Wilhelm II ordered the building of a belt of 14 forts to protect Strasbourg from French invasion. Fort V ( Fort Grossherzog von Baden - Fort Grand Duke of Baden) was built in 1872-1874 in Oberhausbergen; renamed Fort Maréchal Pétain after the reincorporation of Alsace to France in 1919, the fort was abandoned by the French troops on 17 June 1940. On 23 November 1944, the fort was seized by the Allied troops rushing to Strasbourg; this was the only war event in which the fort was ever involved. Renamed Fort Frère after the liberation, the fort was progressively abandoned.
