Alsace Bossue
The Alsace bossue (Alsatian dialect, Alemannic and Lorraine Franconian, Frankish: ''S'Gromme/S'Krumme Elsass'', German: ''das krumme Elsass/ Krummes Elsass''), is a territory of Bas-Rhin in Alsace, which includes the three former cantons of Sarre-Union, Drulingen and La Petite-Pierre (today all part of the canton of Ingwiller).

Initially, the county of Saarwerden was meant to be fragmented and distributed between the departments of Moselle (department), Moselle, Meurthe Department, Meurthe and/or Bas-Rhin, but its inhabitants were against the fragmentation, and as such the project was afterwards cancelled.
