history

Today's community is indirectly mentioned in 1174 (Gerardus sacerdos de Brumenil) under the name Brumenil in a document for the first time. Bréménil was divided in the Hundred Years War . Part of today's municipality, Bréménil-ban-le-Moine , was under the Bailiwick of Vic and historically belonged to the province of Trois-Évêchés (Three Bishoprics), which in fact fell to France in 1552. The other part of the municipality, Bréménil-ban-Saint-Pierre , legally belonged to the Duchy of Salm and thus to the Duchy of Lorraine , which fell to France in 1766. Until the French Revolution , the community was then in the Grand-gouvernement de Lorraine-et-Barrois . In the Thirty Years War the community was almost completely destroyed. Only a few residents survived. There was destruction in the two world wars. During the First World War, German bombardment in 1914 led to severe destruction in the community. Further artillery attacks on both sides caused damage. From 1793 to 1801 the municipality was assigned to the Blâmont district. And from 1793 to 1801 and from 1879 to 2015 it was incorporated into the canton of Badouviller / Badonviller. In between, from 1801 to 1879, it was part of the canton of Baccarat - and since 2015 it has been part of the canton of Baccarat again. Since 1801 Bréménil has been assigned to the Arrondissement of Lunéville. Until 1871, the community was in the old Meurt (h) e. Since then it has been part of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department .
