history
Bezange-la-Petite was first mentioned in 699 as Bisariga and Bisanga . In 912 it was also called Bisanga in the copy book of the Imperial Abbey of St. Maximin in Trier . In 1188 it was mentioned as Allodium de Besangis and in 1267 as Bizainges-de-lez-Ranzia in the copial book of the Beaupré Abbey in Moncel-lès-Lunéville . In 1259 it appeared as Saint-Memin-Buzange , where Saint-Memin is short for Saint-Maximin. In 1393 it was called Semi-Besainge , 1461 Semibesange and 1554 Semibesanges . It was not until 1676 that Bezange-la-Petite was first called "small" (petit is the French word for "small"), it was referred to as Parva Bisangia in a document from the Bosserville monastery and parva was the Latin word for "small".
In the Middle Ages, the village belonged to the castellany of Vic-sur-Seille, which in turn was owned by the diocese of Metz , which belonged to the diocese of Trier . Bezange-la-Petite also belonged to the Barony of Viviers , which was part of the County of Salm , which was given to the Duchy of Lorraine in 1593 . The Duchy of Lorraine has been independent several times since it was founded as Lotharii Regnum by Lothar I. It later belonged temporarily to the Holy Roman Empire and also to France. In 1738 it was awarded to the Polish King Stanislaus I. Leszczyński (1677–1766) in the Peace of Vienna , which ended the War of the Polish Succession (1733–1738), and after his death in 1766 it fell to France.
1793 received Bezange-la-Petite as Bezange Petite in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) the status of a municipality and in 1801 as La Petite-Bezange the right to local self-government. From 1801 to 1871 it belonged to the former Meurthe department , which was renamed the Meurthe-et-Moselle department in 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 dissolved. Bezange-la-Petite was in the Moselle department at that time, this change was retained in 1918 when Moselle was again assigned to France.
During the Second World War (1939-1945) parts of the village were destroyed.
