history
Delme emerged from a Roman post office on the Roman road from Metz (Divodurum Mediomatricum) to Strasbourg (Argentorate) . The name of the place as Ad Duodecimum appeared for the first time on the Tabula Peutingeriana . The Latin name Duodecimum indicated the distance from Metz. Duodecimum milliarum means "Twelfth Miliarium " (distance column). In 990 the village was mentioned as Duodecimum villa in the copial book of the Abbey of Saint Arnulf in Metz, in 1016 as Dodeismes in the copial book of the cathedral of Metz . Delme was the seat of an archpriest of the archdiaconate of Vic-sur-Seille , which in turn was subordinate to the diocese of Metz . The secular government also held the diocese of Metz until 1612, when Delme was taken over by the Duchy of Lorraine . From the 13th century to 1790 Delme was the capital of an administrative district (ban) , to which the localities Alaincourt-la-Côte , Aulnois-sur-Seille , Craincourt , Fossieux , Lemoncourt , Manhoué , Puzieux and Xocourt belonged. From 1751 Delme belonged partly to the Bailliage of Château-Salins .
In 1793 Delme received 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) . It was only five kilometers from the imperial border. The realm of Alsace-Lorraine existed until the end of the First World War (1914–1918) and was then dissolved. At that time Delme was in the Moselle department, this change was retained in 1918 when Moselle was again awarded to France. As a French-speaking town, Delme 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 "Delm" and was the official place name until 1918.
On May 11, 1922 Delme was awarded the Order of the Croix de Guerre 1914-1918. After the Second World War , it received the Croix de guerre 1939–1945.

coat of arms
The municipality's coat of arms was only designed in 1870. It is divided into two halves, the left side is gold and shows a red sloping bar on which there are three mutilated silver eagles . This side corresponds to the coat of arms of the Duchy of Lorraine. The right side is red and has two silver salmon backed to each other and two whole silver crosses, one above the salmon and one below, and two half crosses, to the right and left of the salmon. This half corresponds to the coat of arms of Obersalm . The coat of arms reflects the fact that the village belonged partly to the Duchy of Lorraine and partly to the County of Salm.
