history
Donnelay was first mentioned in 1178 as Dunningen in the copy book of the monastery of Fénétrange . Later mentioned versions of the place name were Donnereys (1183), Donneris (1273), Donneney (1553) and Domeley (1594), Duningen (1322), Dunninga (1311), Donnyngen (1461), Dynnyngen (1513).
In 1461 Johan von Finstingen (Fénétrange) bought the land of the Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul monastery in Neuwiller-lès-Saverne in the localities of Donnelay, Ley and Abaucourt . He donated the land, with which some seigneurial rights were connected, to the monastery of Fénétrange. In 1565 Fénétrange was reformed , whereby the monastery lost its property there and withdrew to Donnelay. Until December 1593 Donnelay belonged to the diocese of Metz , then to the duchy of Lorraine . Cardinal Charles de Lorraine (1567-1607) joined Duke Charles III. de Lorraine (1543–1608) the localities of Geuvelise , Haraucourt-sur-Seille , Saint-Médard and Donnelay in exchange for the localities of Réméréville , Velènes , Herbéviller and Buissoncourt . Donnelay was administered in the Duchy of Lorraine by the castellany of Marsal , which was raised to Bailliage in 1698 . In 1602 the monastery in Donnelay was dissolved and its properties distributed to the parishes of the respective localities. In 1661 Donnelay was awarded to France by the Treaty of Vincennes . In 1667 Charles Henri de Lorraine-Vaudémont (1649–1723) founded the monastery again and gave him the old possessions, including the lands in Donnelay. The pen existed until the French Revolution (1789–1799). In 1790 his possessions were auctioned.
In 1793 Donnelay was given the status of a municipality as Donneley in the course of the French Revolution and in 1801 the right to local self-government under its current name. 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. At that time, Donnelay was in the Moselle department, this change was retained in 1918 when Moselle was again awarded to France. As a French-speaking village, Donnelay was one of the last 247 communities whose name was Germanized on September 2, 1915. The name was changed to "Dunningen" and was the official place name until 1918.
