geography

Bourdonnay is located in Saulnois in the Lorraine Regional Nature Park , about 16 kilometers east of Vic-sur-Seille , at an altitude between 217 and 283 meters above sea level. The municipality covers 17.4 km² (1,740 hectares).

history

Bourdonnay was first mentioned as Bourdenniers in 1256 in the copial book of the Abbey of Saint-Eustase de Vergaville . In 1352 it appears as Bourdeney in the copy book of the Hauteseille monastery .

The village was destroyed and abandoned in the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) and only rebuilt at the beginning of the 18th century.

The lieu-dit ("place that is called ...") Marimont was an independent town in the 18th century and the seat of a barony . It appeared as Petit-Marimont on a map by César François Cassini de Thury (1714–1784).

1793 received Bourdonnay in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) the status of a municipality and 1801 under the current name the right to local self-government. From 1793 to 1801 the municipality was the capital of a canton of the same name. 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. Bourdonnay was in the Moselle department at the time, and this change was retained in 1918 when Moselle was again assigned to France. As a French-speaking village, Bourdonnay was one of the last 247 communities whose name was Germanized on September 2, 1915. The name was changed to "Bortenach" and was the official place name until 1918.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of the municipality is red with a large golden staff (bourdon) standing upright in the middle, surrounded by two silver salmon leaning with their backs on the staff. The silver salmon correspond to the coat of arms of the Réchicourt family and appear, albeit as golden salmon, in the municipal coat of arms of Réchicourt-le-Château . The Réchicourt family owned the castle in Marimont. The golden staff is a " talking figure " because in French it is called Bourdon , which corresponds to part of the place name.

Attractions

The castle of the Seigneurs of Réchicourt in lieu-dit Marimont was built in the 15th century and rebuilt in the 19th century. The ruins of the former castle and the cemetery chapel , with the graves of the Falconet and Jankovitz families, were entered in the supplementary directory of the Monuments historique in 1991 in memory of one of the most important families in Lorraine of the 11th and 12th centuries . The buildings are now privately owned.

Personalities

The brothers Wilhelm Schaeffler (born April 3, 1908 † October 22, 1981 ) and Georg Schaeffler (born January 4, 1917 † August 2, 1996 ), founders of the Schaeffler Group , were born at Marimont Castle.
