History

The arrondissement of Saverne was created in 1800, disbanded in 1871 (ceded to Germany) and restored in 1919.[4] In January 2015 it gained 53 communes from the former arrondissement of Strasbourg-Campagne, and it lost two communes to the new arrondissement of Haguenau-Wissembourg and seven communes to the arrondissement of Molsheim.[5]

As a result of the reorganisation of the cantons of France which came into effect in 2015, the borders of the cantons are no longer related to the borders of the arrondissements. The cantons of the arrondissement of Saverne were, as of January 2015:[6]

  1. Bouxwiller
  2. Drulingen
  3. Marmoutier
  4. La Petite-Pierre
  5. Sarre-Union
  6. Saverne
