This article appears in Volume V21, Page 340 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PFALZBURG , a town of Germany, in the imperial province of AlsaceLorraine, lies high on the west slopes of the Vosges, 25 M. N.W. of Strassburg by rail. Pop. (1905), 3716. It contains an Evangelical and a Roman Catholic
church
 , a
synagogue
  and a teachers'
seminary
 . Its
industries
  include the manufacture of gloves, straw hats and liqueurs, and also
quarrying
 .
The principality of Pfalzburg, of which this town was the
capital
 , originally a
part
  of Luxemburg, afterwards belonged in turn to the
bishop
  of Metz, the
bishop
  of Strassburg and the duke of
Lorraine
 , and passed into the possession of France in 1661. The town was of importance as commanding the passes of the Vosges, and was strongly fortified by Vauban in 1680. The works resisted the Allies in 1814 and 1815, and the Germans for four months in 187o, but they were taken on the 12th of December of that year. They have since been razed.
