history

Bioncourt was first mentioned in a document as Bionis curtis 933. The place name is composed of the Franconian name Beggo and the Latin word curtis and means "Beggos Hof".

Alincourt was first mentioned in 1180, it was the seat of a seigneurie that belonged to the castellany and Bailliage of Nancy.

Bioncourt was also the seat of a Seigneurie, already towards the end of the 13th century the first Seigneur of Bioncourt, André de Bioncourt, son of Geoffroy d' Amance, took the name of the village. The family disappeared as early as the 14th century. From 1594 to 1751 Bioncourt was part of the Amance castellan , which was subordinate to the Nancy Bailliage. After that it belonged to the Bailliage of Château-Salins . In 1790 Bioncourt became the canton capital and remained so until 1801.

In the 18th century, Bioncourt was the seat of a barony owned by the Catoire family, who took the name Catoire de Bioncourt. From 1771 to 1775 the then Baron Jean-Batiste-Nicolas Catoire tried to make the Seille navigable. Then Charles de Vincent acquired the barony. He is buried in the Bioncourt cemetery and a street is named after him.

The parish of Bioncourt was part of the administration of the Archpriest of Delme , who was subordinate to the Archdeacon of Vic-sur-Seille .

In 1793, Bioncourt received in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) the status of a municipality and in 1801 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. At the time, Bioncourt was in the Moselle department, this change was retained in 1918 when Moselle was again assigned to France. As a French-speaking town, Bioncourt was one of the last 247 communities whose name was Germanized on September 2, 1915. The name was changed to "Bionshofen" and was the official place name until 1918.
