history
The community is named after the small river Albe . Albestroff was first mentioned in 1225. In the Middle Ages it was a castellany of the diocese of Metz and was almost completely destroyed in the Thirty Years War (1618–1648). The castle , which was built by order of the bishops of Metz in the 13th century, was destroyed by Swedish troops. With the Peace of Westphalia (1648), the village fell to France.
1793 received Albestroff (as Alberstorff ) in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) the status of a municipality and 1801 (also as Alberstorff ) the right to local self-government. Albestroff belonged to the former Meurthe department from 1801 to 1871 . In 1871 the community was incorporated into the newly created realm of Alsace-Lorraine of the German Empire due to changes in territory due to the course of the Franco-German War (1870–1871) . The realm of Alsace-Lorraine existed until the end of the First World War (1914–1918) and was then again assigned to France and dissolved. Albestroff has been in the Moselle department since 1918 .
