Wissembourg (French pronunciation:[visɑ̃buʁ]ⓘ; South Franconian: Weisseburch[ˈvaɪsəbʊʁç]; German: Weißenburg[ˈvaɪsn̩bʊʁk]ⓘ) is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in Grand Est in northeastern France.[3]
Wissembourg was a sub-prefecture of the department until 2015.[4] The name Wissembourg is a Gallicized version of Weißenburg (Weissenburg) in German meaning "white castle". The Latin place-name, sometimes used in ecclesiastical sources, is Sebusium.[5]
The town was annexed by France after 1648 but then incorporated into Germany in 1871. It was returned to France in 1919, but reincorporated back into Germany in 1940. After 1944 it again became French.
