Wallonie malmédienne, Historical canton in eastern Belgium
The Wallonian canton encompasses the municipalities of Malmedy and Waimes in the province of Liège, characterized by French and Walloon speaking communities.
The territory transferred from France to Prussia in 1815 following the Congress of Vienna, and later became part of Belgium after the Treaty of Versailles in 1919.
The region maintains a dual linguistic identity where French and Walloon languages coexist, reflecting centuries of cultural exchange between Germanic and Romance influences.
Modern administrative services in the canton operate in French, while specific language facilities exist for residents in designated municipalities.
This territory represents the only section of Belgium that was under Prussian administration during the 19th century, creating a distinct cultural landscape.
