Talk:Haguenau (disambiguation)

Haguenau in today's France
Regarding cultural context, as always with expanding nations, this is a highly misleading description only related to the borders of MODERN France. Modern France had been created by violent annexations, extensive destruction of cultural resources and ethnic cleansing of a lot of neighbouring regions, including Alsace, in the process of modern French nation building. Modern France must not be confused with the original French kingdom and original French culture. Hagenau had not been French at all, but had been on of the most important German royal palatinates for about 800 years BEFORE annexation and destruction of the royal palatinate as well as the old town center by French troops. Up to the present day, the original dialect spoken in and around Hagenau/ Haguenau is Swabian Alemannic - identical to the original German dialect spoken in all communities around Hagenau. Yes, modern French chauvinism/ nationalism urgently demands to deny all facts related to annexation of foreign regions. But nevertheless, historical science shall be about facts, not about political framing based on chauvinism, nationalism or even national occultism. 188.104.35.103 (talk) 09:20, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
