history

Cutting was first mentioned in a document in 1328 as Villa de Kuctinga in a contract in the copy book of the monastery of Fénétrange , in 1476 it appeared as Kuttanges . The place name is made up of the Germanic name Goddo and the place name ending -ingen . Until 1698 the village belonged to the castellany of Marimont-lès-Bénestroff , which was a Bailliage of the Duchy of Lorraine . In 1618 the municipality was the capital of a mairie which, in addition to Cutting, Domnon-lès-Dieuze , Bassing and Loudrefing included. At that time, a mairie served as the administrative body of a seigneurie .

The Duchy of Lorraine has been independent several times since it was founded as Lotharii Regnum by Lothar I. It later belonged temporarily to the Holy Roman Empire and also to France. In 1738 it was awarded to the Polish King Stanislaus I. Leszczyński (1677–1766) in the Peace of Vienna , which ended the War of the Polish Succession (1733–1738), and after his death in 1766 it fell to France.

In 1793 Cutting received in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) the status of a municipality and in 1801 as Kutting 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. Cutting was in the Moselle department at that time, this change was retained in 1918 when Moselle was re-assigned to France.

The coat of arms of the municipality is silver with a red coat ( chape is the opposite of a heraldic tip ). In the middle there is a black paw cross , in the upper corners there are two silver Alérions (mutilated eagles).
