 -Lorraine, at the foot of the Vosges, on the Lauch, 13 M. S. of
Colmar

Gebweiler is mentioned as early as 774. It belonged to the. religious foundation of Murbach, and in 1759 the abbots chose it for their residence. In 1789, at the outbreak of the Revolution, the monastic buildings were laid in ruins, and, though the archives were rescued and removed to
Colmar
 , the library perished.
