When Philippe Bieber emigrated to Canada in the years 1873-1874, Zilling was part of the German Empire and attached to the Reichsland Elsaß-Lothringen (Territory of the Alsace-Lorraine empire). This territory was ceded on May 10, 1871 by France to the German Empire in application of the Treaty of Frankfurt which put an end to the Franco-Prussian War or Franco-German War, often referred to in France as the War of 1870. Alsace-Lorraine returned to the French fold in 1919 with the Treaty of Versailles.
