history
Chémery-les-Deux, as the name (deux = two) suggests, consists of two settlements. The older, larger and northerly part ( Chémery-la-Vieille ) was built in the 13th century and was initially subordinate to the Freistroff monastery in Freistroff , and from 1604 to the Sainte-Croix Benedictine monastery in Bouzonville . Chémery-la-Neuve (now Petit Chémery ), located to the south, was founded by Didier de Colligny , an abbé of the Freistroffer monastery. The new construction of the place in 1570 was due to the more favorable location directly on the road from Thionville via Bouzonville to the Saarland. The division of the community into two parts can still be seen today, between the two there is a 100 meter wide strip of grassland along a creek bed. The single-family houses in the west of the municipality along the Menstroff - Chémery - Hestroff road are more recent.
Population development
In the 20 years between 1962 and 1982 the number of inhabitants rose by over a third, until 1999 a continuous, slight decrease was observed. The population has increased again since 1999.
