history
Before the French Revolution, Betting was part of the Trois-Évêchés . This meant the three bishoprics of Metz , Toul and Verdun , which were occupied by the French King Henry II as imperial vicar in 1552 and who came to France in 1648 with the Peace of Westphalia . In 1871, after France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War , Betting came to the newly founded German nation-state; Betting was renamed Bettingen . As part of the realm of Alsace-Lorraine , Bettingen was now part of the German Empire . After the German Empire lost the First World War , the realm of Alsace-Lorraine was independent for a time. In 1919, as a result of the Paris suburb contracts, this area was added to France and Bettingen was given its former name back. 21 years later, Betting and East Lorraine (congruent with the "Moselle Department") was occupied by the troops of the now National Socialist German Reich and placed under civil administration, with the result that the area, and thus Betting, now renamed Bettingen again, was in fact annexed. However, the full connection was never completed. The National Socialists were expelled as early as 1944. East Lorraine returned to France Bettingen was renamed Betting again.
The municipality name Betting-lès-Saint-Avold , which was used to distinguish it from the small hamlet of Betting in the northwestern municipality of Waldwisse and can still be found in many maps , was published in the Journal on September 12, 2005 by decree on Betting without the name affix officiel de la République française .
