history
Farébersviller had belonged to the Duchy of Lorraine since 1581 , which after the death of Stanislaus I on February 23, 1766, fell to France according to the treaty . From 1871, after the defeat in the Franco-German War , Farébersviller was part of the realm of Alsace-Lorraine within the German Empire . After the loss of the First World War , the German Empire Alsace-Lorraine had to cede to France again under the terms of the Versailles Treaty . Farébersviller was part of France for only 22 years before German troops marched into the place. Thus Farébersviller, now again Pfarrebersweiler , was de facto annexed like the rest of Alsace-Lorraine. The place returned to France in 1944 and received its French place name again.
The small village underwent an enormous change in the mid-1950s, when a new settlement northeast of the old village center was built here in the center of the coal basin between the towns of Forbach , Sarreguemines and Saint-Avold . It took on a large part of the workforce, some of whom were recruited from North Africa, who worked in the surrounding mines and steelworks. The population increased from 1954 to 1962 by more than fourteen times. After the last mines were closed and the coal and steel industry went down, the number of inhabitants in Farébersviller and the surrounding industrial communities steadily decreased. Efforts to establish new industries have not yet stopped the trend.
