Alsace-Lorraine Party

The Alsace-Lorraine Party (German: Elsass-Lothringen Partei; also known as Elsässer) was a political party in the German Empire.

The party first contested national elections in 1874,[1] winning 15 seats.

As more Alsatians emigrated to France, the party's support declined,[1] and it never won more than 10 seats following the 1890 elections.

When Alsace-Lorraine was returned to France after World War I, the party disappeared.

[1] The party represented the autonomist views of the French-speaking population of Alsace-Lorraine.
