Dannemarie , unofficially Dannemarie-lès-Glay called, is a French municipality with 113 inhabitants (as of January 1 2017) in Doubs in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Dannemarie is located at 486 m , about 16 kilometers southeast of the city of Montbéliard (as the crow flies). The village extends in the northern Jura , in a side valley of the Doue (source stream of the Gland ), at the northern foot of the height La Combay, in the immediate vicinity of the border with Switzerland .
The area of the 2.25 km² large municipality covers a section of the northern French Jura. The main part of the area is taken up by the valley basin of Dannemarie, which is drained to the north to the Doue and thus to the Doubs . The slopes around Dannemarie are subdivided by various valleys and erosion channels. The valley basin is flanked in the northwest by the plateau of Mont Beulchy ( 545 m ) with arable and meadow land, and in the south by the forest slope of the Combay , where the highest elevation of Dannemarie is reached at 671 m. To the east, the Chênet forest and the heights of Pré du Prince lead over to the Grandfontaine Plateau Jura .
The neighboring municipalities of Dannemarie are Villars-lès-Blamont in the southwest, Blamont in the west, Glay in the north and the Swiss municipalities of Grandfontaine in the east and Haute-Ajoie in the south.
history
Dannemarie is first mentioned in a document in the 13th century. It developed alongside a priory that was abandoned with the introduction of the Reformation (1541). Since the Middle Ages, the village has belonged to the Blamont rule and in 1506 came under the suzerainty of the Counts of Montbéliard. As part of the Blamont dominion, which formed one of the four dominions of the Principality of Württemberg-Montbéliard and was annexed by France in 1699, Dannemarie finally came under contract to France in 1748.

With 113 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2017), Dannemarie is one of the smallest communities in the Doubs department. After the population had decreased significantly in the first half of the 20th century (194 people were still counted in 1886), population growth has been recorded again since the beginning of the 1960s. Since 1990 the trend has been down again slightly.
Economy and Infrastructure
Dannemarie was a village characterized by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding) well into the 20th century. Even today, the residents live mainly from their work in the first sector. Outside the primary sector there are few jobs in the village. Some workers are also commuters who work in the Montbéliard agglomeration.
The village is far away from the larger thoroughfares. The main access is from Glay; a narrow road leads to Villars-lès-Blamont. The closest connection to the A36 motorway is around 16 kilometers away. The station Dannemarie-Velesmes is located on the railway Dole-Besançon-Belfort .
