history
661 and 763, the place is first attested as a country residence of Gallo-Roman noblemen under the names Villa Gairoaldo and Villa Gerboldinga . In the 13th century Gerdlingen belonged as a parish to the municipality of Bockenheim and was owned by the County of Saar Werden , which also raised its tithing here . In 1314 the Benedictine monastery Lixheim is listed as a landowner in Geroldingen . While the village is still mentioned in the 15th century, it is no longer mentioned on the occasion of the Turkish appraisal (1542).
In 1557 Count Adolf von Nassau-Saarbrücken left Huguenots , who had fled the Duchy of Lorraine as well as Normandy and other regions of the Kingdom of France , Gerling and 6 other abandoned towns in his domain. Before the armed conflicts of the 17th century ( Thirty Years' War 1618–1648, Reunionskrieg 1683–1684), the residents of the village finally fled to the Palatinate and the Bischwiller area . The town's church was destroyed in 1685. In the 18th century, Gerling was repopulated by Swiss Protestants who had fled their homeland from the strict regime of Calvinism . In 1793 the entire county is annexed to the newly formed French Republic . On the occasion of the Franco-Prussian War (1871/72), the First World War (1914-1918) and the Second World War (1939-1945), the place, like Alsace-Lorraine as a whole, changed its national affiliation several times between France and Germany .
