history

The present-day community is indirectly mentioned in 1124 (Rainerus de Domno Juvino) under the Latin name Domno Juvino for the first time in a document. The French form first appeared as Domjuvin in 1189. In the 13th century there was a later destroyed monastery community of the Templars. In 1308, attackers from Metz completely destroyed Domjevin and Frisonviller (in what is now the municipality). Frisonviller is no longer being rebuilt. Domjevin subordinates itself to the Duchy of Lorraine in 1329 . It then belonged to the Bailiwick of Lunéville and fell to France in 1766. Between 1584 and 1630, 16 residents of the parish were executed for witchcraft . The Thirty Years' War and the plague killed all but 30 people. Until the French Revolution , the community was then in the Grand-gouvernement de Lorraine-et-Barrois . There was destruction in the two world wars. In the Second World War alone, 30,000 shells fell on the village. From 1793 to 1801 the community was assigned to the Lunéville district. From 1793 to 1801 it was part of the canton of La Neuveville aux Bois. From 1801 to 2015, the municipality was incorporated into the canton of Blâmont. Since 1801 it has been assigned to the Lunéville arrondissement. Until 1871, the community was in the old Meurt (h) e. Since then it has been part of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department .
