history

The first documentary mention was in 1360 as Nuimborn . From 1278 to 1766 Namborn belonged to the Duchy of Lorraine (Amt Schaumburg). Lorraine then fell to the Kingdom of France by way of succession. By contract of November 15, 1786, the former Schaumburg office came to the Duchy of Pfalz-Zweibrücken. After the French Revolution, Namborn was the only place in today's municipality of Namborn to have its own Mairie (Mairie Namborn). Namborn belonged to the arrondissement Thionville in the canton Tholey , and thus to the Moselle department while the remaining nine places of today's municipality Namborn belonged to the Saar department . Therefore, Namborn was attached to France earlier.
