This work explores the rich cultural, historical, and geographical landscape of Alsace, a region located between the Vosges and the Rhine. It sheds light on the unique charm and significance of Alsace while capturing its storied past through historical events, legends, and notable figures who shaped the area. The opening of the work presents various perspectives on the identity and history of Alsace, introducing readers to its geographical significance and historical context. Lichtenberger opens with a reflection on the surprising ignorance about Alsace among residents, following a conversation between a captain and conscripts. He provides an overview of the etymology of the region's name and describes its history, from its mythological roots as a mysterious lake to being a battleground during key historical conflicts. He emphasizes Alsace's unique position as a cultural bridge between Latin and Germanic influences and how this dual heritage has fostered a distinct local identity.
