history
The place name Bréhain was first mentioned in 1169 as Berchem , in 1178 it appeared as Brehem. The place name originated from the Germanic word “ mountain ” and the place name ending “ -heim ”. Château-Bréhain was first mentioned in 1218 as Villa de Chestes in the copy book of the Beaupré monastery in Moncel-lès-Lunéville . In 1505 it appears in a contract as Le Chastel de Chastelbrehain, and in 1525 as Chastelbreheim . The castle ( Latin Castellum , French Château ), which gave the village its name, has not been preserved.
The fiefdom of Château-Bréhain belonged to the barony of Viviers , which in turn belonged to the Marquisate of Pont-à-Mousson from the 14th century . In 1698 Pont-à-Mousson became a Bailliage of the Duchy of Bar . From 1751 the village belonged to the Bailliage of Château-Salins . The parish of Château-Bréhain was subordinate to the archpriest of Haboudange , who in turn was subordinate to the diocese of Metz .
In 1793, Château-Bréhain received the status of a municipality as Chateau Brehain in the course of the French Revolution and in 1801, as Château-Brehain, 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 that time, Château-Bréhain was in the Moselle department, this change was retained in 1918 when Moselle was again assigned to France. As a French-speaking village, Château-Bréhain was one of the last 247 communities whose name was Germanized on September 2, 1915 during the First World War. The name was changed to "Bruch-Kastel" and was the official place name until 1918.
