Encyclopedia Britannica



MARKIRCH (French, Ste-Marie-aux-Mines)

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 736 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MARKIRCH (French, Ste-Marie-aux-Mines) , a town of Germany, in Upper
Alsace
 , prettily situated in the valley of the Leber, an affluent of the Rhine, near the French frontier. Pop. (1900), 12,372. The once productive silver, copper and lead
mines of the neighbourhood were practically unworked during the whole of the 19th
century
 , but have recently been reopened. The main
industries
  of the place are, however, weaving and dyeing, and it is estimated that there are about 40,000
work
 -
people
  in the industrial
district
  of which Markirch is the centre. The small river Leber, which intersects the town, was at one time the boundary between the German and French languages, and traces of this separation still exist. The German-speaking inhabitants on the right bank were Protestants, and subject to the
counts
  of Rappoltstein, while the French inhabitants were Roman Catholics, and under the
rule
  of the dukes of
Lorraine
 .

 , Das Bergbaugebiet von Markirch (Strass., 1900).
