Page "Malmedy" Paragraph 4

Some old sources spell the city's name " Malmédy " as this accent was intentionally added when being part of Prussia and Germany, but its official website lists it as " Malmedy ", with no accent.

In 1919 the city was annexed by the treaty of Versailles to Belgium from Germany.

Along with the neighboring city of Eupen, it formed a German-speaking area of Belgium.

From 1940 – 1945, Malmedy was re-incorporated into Germany.

This was reversed after the war.
