Mairie

Anjoutey (dt. Earlier Anschatingen ) is a French commune in the department Territoire de Belfort in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .

geography

Anjoutey is 403 m above sea level. M., about nine kilometers north-northeast of the city of Belfort (as the crow flies). The former street line village extends in the broad valley of the Madeleine in the southern foothills of the Vosges , between the hills of the Forêt de Roppe in the west and the Châtelet in the east. It is located in the Ballons des Vosges Regional Nature Park .

The area of ​​the 7.69 km² large municipal area includes a section in the area of ​​the Vosges foothills. The central part of the area is crossed in a north-south direction by the Madeleine valley, which is almost two kilometers wide. This drains the area to the south and emerges south of the village into the plateau on the northern edge of the Burgundian Gate . The valley level, which lies at an average of 400 m, consists mainly of arable and meadow land.

To the west, the municipality extends into the hilly area of ​​the Forêt de Roppe with the Mont (463 m) and the Bois la Dame (497 m). Further to the west follows the headwaters of the Autruche , a tributary of the Madeleine. Part of the area is designated as a military firing range. To the east of the Madeleine valley level, the communal soil extends into the Châtelet forest, where the Ruisseau de Bourg rises. On the ridge, the highest point of Anjoutey is reached at 505 m.

Neighboring municipalities of Anjoutey are Étueffont and Rougemont-le-Château in the north, Romagny-sous-Rougemont , Bourg-sous-Châtelet and Saint-Germain-le-Châtelet in the east, Bethonvilliers , Eguenigue and Roppe in the south and Éloie and Grosmagny in the west.

history

Anjoutey is first mentioned in a document in 1234. It initially belonged to the Rougemont lordship, but then came under the influence of the Rosemont lordship. In the middle of the 14th century, Anjoutey came under the rule of the Habsburgs. Together with the Sundgau , the village came to the French crown with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. Since 1793 it belonged to the Haut-Rhin department , but in 1871 it remained as part of the Territoire de Belfort, unlike the rest of Alsace, in France. In the course of the 19th century, trades that were dependent on water power settled along the Madeleine: a mill and several weaving and spinning mills. In the autumn of 1913, Anjoutey was connected to the French rail network by a narrow-gauge railway line that ran from Belfort via Les Errues to Étueffont. After the Second World War, however, operations were stopped. Today Anjoutey is united with 13 other municipalities to form the communal association Communauté de communes du Pays Sous Vosgien .

With 603 inhabitants (January 1, 2017), Anjoutey is one of the small communities in the Territoire de Belfort department. After the population had decreased significantly in the first half of the 20th century (in 1906 there were still 641 people), the population has continued to grow steadily since the beginning of the 1980s. Since then the population has almost doubled.

Economy and Infrastructure

For a long time, Anjoutey was predominantly a village characterized by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding), fish farming and forestry. In addition, there are some small businesses today. In the meantime the village has turned into a residential community. Many workers are also commuters who work in the agglomerations of Belfort and Mulhouse .

The village is well developed in terms of traffic. It is located on a departmental road that leads from Les Errues to Étueffont. The next connection to the Autoroute A 36 is about six kilometers away. Another road connection is with Saint-Germain-le-Châtelet.
