Undivided back postcard from Ste-Marie-aux-Mines, France. This postcard was postmarked Roustchouk in 1902. The German name of the city, Markirch, is also printed on the card as well as the German description, Blumenplatz. Ste-Marie-aux-Mines is located in the Alsace region of France. Alsace fell under German rule in 1871 after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 and remained under German control until the end of World War I in 1919 with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. My great-great grandfather, John Reinhardt, was born in Ste-Marie-aux-Mines (Markirch) in 1844 and lived there until he emigrated to America about 1860. He always said he was a Frenchman, not a German.
