history
The district Condé was first mentioned in 787 as Cundici , in 1478 as Conchen . The younger district Northen was first mentioned in 1618 as Nortten . Until 1766, both places belonged to the Duchy of Lorraine and thus to the medieval German Empire and then fell to France. In 1804 the two localities were merged as part of an administrative reform to form the new municipality of Condé-Northen . In 1810 the neighboring town of Pontigny (first mentioned in 1339 as Bruque ) was incorporated.
From 1871 to 1918 Condé-Northen belonged to the German Empire under the name Contchen . From 1940 to 1944 it was once again under German administration under the name of Konden ; on November 18, 1940, 184 of the 282 inhabitants were expelled to inner France by German police units during an ethnic cleansing operation . In 1979 the neighboring town of Lourtemange (first mentioned in 825 as Leutermingas ) was incorporated.
