history
Conthil was first mentioned in a document in the 9th century. Ernest Nègre assumes that the place name is derived from the Germanic name Cunthild .
Conthil belonged to the Seigneurie of Marimont-lès-Bénestroff . Marimont-lès-Bénestroff was the seat of a Bailliage of the Habsburgs . From 1698 Conthil belonged to the Prévoté ( Vogtei ) of Dieuze . In 1793 Conthil received as Couthil in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) the status of a municipality and in 1801 the right to local self-government. From 1793 to 1801 the municipality was the capital of a canton. From 1801 to 1871 it belonged to the former Meurthe department . 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 Conthil was in the Moselle department, this change was retained in 1918, when Moselle was again awarded to France.
The village of Lidrequin was incorporated in 1960. Lidrequin carried the German name "Linderchen" from 1871 to 1918. The village had 23 inhabitants in 1954.
