That's got to do with French politics.
At some point, France decided to put a new structure between the "tiny" departments (95 in European France) and the "full" French administration. These were the regions, that in some cases recovered ancient region names, like Alsace.
Later, the number of regions was considered to be excessive, so a few were merged. One was Alsace, which was indeed small, but had a distinctive history of its own. Alsace became a part of a new macroregion named Grand Est.
Strasbourg/Strassburg, home to Jyrki, is Alsace's main city.
