Colmar is a historic city in Alsace, France, that has changed hands several times. It was first mentioned by Charlemagne in 823, and became a free imperial city in 1226. It joined the Décapole, a league of ten Alsatian cities, in 1354, and was ceded to France by Louis XIV in 1679. It was annexed by Germany after the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, and returned to France after the First World War in 1918.
