Strasbourg has always been an important city. Thanks to a favourable geographical position – at the crossroads of waterways and overland routes- the area on which Strasbourg now stands has been inhabited since the Bronze Age. In the Middle Ages, it was an important economic center and it gradually grew so strong that by the fifteenth century it had become a free republic. It grew richer and richer in the sixteenth century and welcomed free thinkers and refugees from Switzerland, Italy and France. These newcomers greatly enriched the city’s cultural life. In 1697, Strasbourg became a part of France. Germany conquered it in 1870 and it was only returned to France after the end of the First World War. It was again occupied by Germany in the Second World War and suffered great destruction. In 1949, the city was chosen to be the headquarters of the Council of Europe, and since 1979 it has been the seat of the European Parliament to which countries send their representatives.
