history

The village, built on a ridge, is named after a castle ( French chateau ), which is one of the oldest castles in Lorraine. The founding deed of the Vergaville monastery from 966 mentions the donation of lands and a church of Saint-Martin in Castellum (Château-Voué) to the newly founded monastery. The donors and two of their family members are mentioned by name: Hincmar, Sigeric, his wife Berthe and their son Thierry. 1251 gave a Pierre, Voué de Metz, the monastery further lands in Castris (Château-Voué). A vouerie or haute vouerie corresponded to a seigneurie in Lorraine. In that document from 966 it is also mentioned that Château-Voué belonged to the county of Destrich, which had its seat in Destry . The parish of Château-Voué was subordinate to the Archpriest of Haboudange , who in turn was subordinate to the diocese of Metz .

The name Castellum (French Château , German Kastel ) was not enough to distinguish the castle from other castles. A more recent place name book mentions the name form Chastelveit for 1264 . The French addition -Voué can be explained as Vogts- (French avoué , German Vogt ). The German name is Dürrkastel in 1474 . Already in 1406 the form Aridumcastrum appears in a Latin document . Aridus is the Latin word for "dry". It is not known what form of name is in a document from 1281, which is not available in the original, but only in French and German translations from 1616 (the translations are from Châteauvoué and Durnkasteln ).

L. Jean points to the traces of a Roman road near the village and interprets the name to mean that a castellum already existed here in Gallo-Roman times (52 BC to 486) . Accordingly, he explains the German name using a Gallic word Durn . Durnum means "beak", "projection", "extreme position" in the Gallic language and was used in place names such as Durnovaria .

In the 14th century, the Seigneurie Château-Voué was owned by the Morsperch de Torcheville family . In 1325, the village was mentioned as Chastel Le Wouweit in a document relating to the War of the Four Lords (1324-1326). The Seigneurs Rodolphe and Renault of Château-Voué supported the city of Metz in that war. In 1333, Guillaume de Torcheville and the Bishop of Metz renounced their rights with regard to Chaisteil vowey and Chastel Voiley (Château-Voué) in favor of the Duke of Lorraine . In the further course of the 14th century, the Guermange family appeared as seigneurs of the village. The Guermanges were vassals of the Morsperch de Torcheville.

By marriage, part of the Morsperch de Torcheville's seigneurism fell in 1404 to Jean de Pfaffenhofen, the scion of an Alsatian aristocratic family. As early as 1415 Jean sold his part (five eighths) of the castle to Henri Hase von Dievelich. In 1445 Henri Hase von Dievelich owned three eighths of the castle. He died around 1460. His daughter had died before him, she had been married twice, first with Damian von Helmstatt and then with Henri von Rathsamhausen and had left five children. While the two daughters were being settled, the three sons each received a share of the castle in 1461.

During the Burgundian Wars (1474–1477), Charles the Bold's troops besieged the castle in 1475 and set it on fire.

The von Helmstatt family was a branch of the Göler von Ravensburg from the Kraichgau . For seven generations it had the seat of a branch line, which received further fiefs from the bishops in Metz , including in Hingsingen and Sarralbe , and owned and owned rights in Saarbrücken and in various villages. In 1591 half of the Dürkastel rule came to Johann Philipp von Helmstatt , whose five sons sold the property to Wilhelm von Hunolstein in 1599 . The Bailiffs of Hunolstein held Dürkastel for a total of nine generations until the French Revolution .

The Bérange homestead is located south of the town center. In 1206 it was mentioned for the first time as Villa de Berange in the copy book of the Abbey of Salival, which is today in the municipality of Moyenvic . Lepage assumes that it must have been a once important place.

In 1793 Château-Voué received the status of a municipality as Chateau Voué in the course of the French Revolution and in 1801 under its current name 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-Voué was in the Moselle department, this change was retained in 1918 when Moselle was re-assigned to France.

In 1981 the village of Dédeling was incorporated. As a French-speaking village, Dédeling was one of the last 247 municipalities whose name was Germanized on September 2, 1915 during the First World War. The name was changed to "Dedlingen" and was the official place name until 1918.
