geography
The municipality of Lorry-Mardigny is on the border with the Meurthe-et-Moselle department , about 16 kilometers southeast of Metz and nine kilometers north of Pont-à-Mousson in the hills east of the nearby Moselle valley . The A31 car route running in north-south direction leads through the area of the municipality.
history
The two villages Lorry and Mardigny were merged in 1810 to form the municipality of Lorry-devant-le-Pont (Pont = Pont-à-Mousson), which fell under its current name to the German Empire after the Franco-Prussian War in 1871 . During the First World War , the community was renamed Lorringen-Mardeningen from 1915 to 1918 until it was returned to France in November 1918.
During the Second World War , the village was occupied again by the Germans, who on November 13, 1940, expelled all of the residents , this time renaming it Lörringen-Mardeningen , and until the liberation some German families settled there. The inhabitants of Lorry-Mardignys returned to an almost completely destroyed village in the spring of 1945.
