history

The current community is first mentioned in a document in the 13th century under the Latin name Ecclesia Domni Apri . In 1479, the name Domepvre appears in a collection of documents from the Blâmont fiefdom . Until the destruction of the Saint-Sauveur abbey in 1588, the place was under this abbey. From 1588 until the French Revolution, the monks lived in the local abbey. The place was called Domèvre-l'Abbaye until 1791. During the Thirty Years War , the community was almost completely destroyed by French troops. Bad harvests and the plague also reduced the number of residents. Domèvre-sur-Vezouze legally belonged to the Bailiwick of Blâmont and thus to the Duchy of Lorraine , which fell to France in 1766. Until the French Revolution , the community was then in the Grand-gouvernement de Lorraine-et-Barrois . During the troubled times of the French Revolution, the abbey was looted and destroyed. Destruction again occurred in the two world wars. From 1793 to 1801 the municipality was assigned to the Blâmont district. From 1793 to 2015 Domèvre-sur-Vezouze was incorporated into the canton of Blâmont. Since 1801 it has been assigned to the Lunéville arrondissement. The community was in the old Meurte department until 1871. Since then it has been part of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department . Until 1936 the municipality was called Domèvre (also Domevre).
