poor Alsace, torn between France and Germany between 1870 and WWII. In various periods, Germans and French each oppressed the other. It declared independence for 11 days after the Armistice only to be occupied by French troops yet again and went through a period of Frankification and expulsion of Germans. Like Quebec, some regions had comfortably had signs in both French and German before WWI and people generally got along. It still has some legal differences distinct from the rest of France. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alsace-Lorraine#During_World_War_I

The "Strasbourg statue" could be the statue on the Place de la Concorde in Paris.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_de_la_Concorde suggests that dressing the statue in mourning crepe became a tradition.

"The Palais Universitaire in Strasbourg is a large, neo-Renaissance style building, constructed between 1879 and 1884 under the direction of the German architect Otto Warth. It was inaugurated in 1884 by Wilhelm I, Emperor of Germany. Through Avenue de la Liberté (former Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße), it faces the equally monumental former imperial palace (Kaiserpalast).
The building served for several decades as the centre of the new imperial University of Strasbourg."

From a b-59 link, the story of the missing light towers..Google translated from French: " originally it was punctuated candelabra carved stone and cast iron but were demolished in 1945 and replaced by conventional lamps. His iron railing is replaced by a modern rail. In the middle of the arches are cast iron masks representing allegorical faces evokes mythological deities."
