Belfort. L'Eglise at l'Hotel de Ville. Photographer: Braun, Jean Adolphe
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: War Photography
Panoramic view looking across the main square of Belfort towards the church and town hall, both buildings showing evidence of the German siege and bombardment, which ended with the honourable surrender of the French garrison on 15 February 1871. The fortified chateau can be seen in the right background. The French flag still flies on the ramparts of the chateau: after the heroic defence, the garrison was allowed to march away with full honours of war and Belfort was the only part of Alsace that remained in French hands after the annexation of the territory by the Germans in 1871.
