history
Craincourt was first mentioned in a document in 777 as Sicramria curte . The place name is made up of the Germanic name Sigramnus and the Middle Latin word curtis , "homestead", and means "homestead of Sigramnus". In 1152 the village was mentioned as Crancurt in a contract in the copial book of the Abbey of Saint-Pierre de Senones and in 1270 as Crincourt . 1243 sold Regnauld de Craincourt, the then Seigneur of the village, the bishop of Metz , Jakob von Lothringen , the Vouerie of Delme . A vouerie or haute vouerie corresponded to a seigneurie in Lorraine. Later the Wauthiemont (Weltersberg) family owned the Craincourt fief . Your coat of arms , which has been changed slightly, is now the municipal coat of arms . The parish of Craincourt was part of the administrative area of the Archpriest of Delme, who was subordinate to the Archdeacon of Vic-sur-Seille . The village itself had belonged to Delme since the 13th century.
In 1698 Craincourt was subordinate to the Bailliage of Nomeny , which belonged to the Duchy of Lorraine . The duchy was awarded to the Polish King Stanislaus I. Leszczyński (1677–1766) in the Peace of Vienna in 1738 , which ended the War of the Polish Succession (1733–1738) and fell to France after his death in 1766.
1793 received Craincourt in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) the status of a municipality and 1801 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, Craincourt was in the Moselle department, this change was retained in 1918 when Moselle was re-assigned to France. As a French-speaking village, Craincourt 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 "Kranhofen" and was the official place name until 1918.
