Memories of War at the Ecomuseum of Alsace

Nestled in Ungersheim, between Colmar and Mulhouse, the Écomusée d’Alsace invites you to relive history, and in particular one of the key events of the 39-45 war in Alsace: the fighting on the Rhine. Join us on September 28 and 29, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., for a re-enactment that’s sure to leave a lasting impression.

Are you passionate about history? Or perhaps you simply feel the need to know the past in order to better understand the present? Whatever the case, don’t miss this larger-than-life historical re-enactment. Solo, with friends or family, relive this key event of the 39-45 War in Alsace as it actually happened.

Taking the form of a traditional Alsatian village, the Écomusée d’Alsace – in partnership with the associations Soldats d’hier and Alsacemilitaria – will plunge you into the heart of history, in an ultra-realistic setting. Thanks to this activity, young and old alike will take a real leap back in time.

This exceptional historical re-enactment will enable you to meet Allied soldiers, as well as those of the German mountain troops. They’ll show you what life was like in the camps!

You’ll also be able to admire a wealth of period artefacts, including military equipment, vehicles, everyday objects, documents and uniforms. A great historical experience for the whole family!
