Oberelsaß

Oberelsaß (or Upper Alsace, Haute-Alsace) was the southern part of the historical region Alsace or Elsass. From 1871 to 1918, Bezirk Oberelsaß was a region (Bezirk) in the southern part of the province of Elsaß-Lothringen in the German Empire. The region corresponds exactly to the current French department of Haut-Rhin. Its capital was Colmar. It was divided into the districts (Kreise) of:
 * Altkirch within the Sundgau
 * Colmar
 * Gebweiler (Guebwiller)
 * Mülhausen (Mulhouse)
 * Rappoltsweiler (Ribeauvillé)
 * Thann

The flag of Oberelsaß is a yellow bar on a red field decorated on each side with three crowns. The combination of this flag with that of Unterelsaß forms the flag of modern Alsace.
