The Eurodistrict
Strasbourg-Ortenau is a Franco-German eurodistrict, a European Grouping for
Territorial Cooperation established on 17 October 2005 and functional since
February 2010. The district is formed by the Eurométropole de Strasbourg and 3
French urban communities (of Rhinau, Erstein and Benfeld), and the Ortenau district in the Baden-Württemberg region on the German side. The district has
915,000 inhabitants on 2,368 km².
The Eurodistrict's Council is composed
of 48 members, with 24 each representing either the French or the German side.
