history
Eschwiller was first mentioned in a document as Ascovillare 718. The place name was composed of the Germanic words " ash " and " hamlet ". In the Hundred Years War (1337-1453) the village was abandoned and only settled again in 1690. The settlers were Catholics from Lorraine and Picardy .
In 1793 France claimed the county of Saar and Eschwiller received in the course of the French Revolution (1789–1799) as Eschveiller the status of a municipality and in 1801 the right to local self-government. Due to changes in territory after the Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871) and the First World War (1914–1918), Eschwiller belonged to Germany from 1871 to 1919.
