geography
The municipality of Hombourg-Budange is located on the Canner , about 15 kilometers southeast of Thionville on the trunk road to Saarlouis .
history
The place has belonged to France since 1697 and consists of the two districts of Hombourg and the southern village of Budange, which were merged around 1790.
After the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71, the place came under the German Empire, where it remained until the First World War.
From 1811 to 1902 the neighboring village of Kédange was also part of it, during which time the municipality was called Hombourg-sur-Kaner ( Homburg-Kedingen ).
