history
Excavations with finds from the Gallo-Roman period show an early settlement. The name of today's parish was first mentioned in 836 in a document in the form of Grimaldi vicinium . In a treaty from 1197, Eudes, Bishop of Toul, donated half of the mill in Germines to Clairlieu Abbey . The three castles each had their own seigneurs (lords) and administered the community in the name of the Duke of Lorraine. In the Middle Ages the community belonged to the Duchy of Bar , which later fell to the Duchy of Lorraine . More precisely to the office ( Bailliage ) Vézelise. With this rule, Germiny fell to France in 1766. Until the French Revolution , the community was then in the Grand-gouvernement de Lorraine-et-Barrois . From 1793 to 1801 the municipality was assigned to the district of Vézelise and from 1793 to 2015 part of the canton of Colombey-les-Belles. With the exception of the years 1926 to 1943, when it belonged to the Arrondissement of Nancy, Germiny has been assigned to the Arrondissement of Toul since 1801. Until 1871, the community was in the old Meurt (h) e. Since then it has been part of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department .
