Nousseviller-lès-Bitche ( German Nussweiler ) is a French commune with 141 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2017) in the Moselle department in the Grand Est region (until 2015 Lorraine ). It belongs to the Sarreguemines arrondissement and the Bitche canton and is part of the Northern Vosges Natural Park .
geography
The place is in the north of Lorraine , about six kilometers from the German-French border, three kilometers south of Volmunster .
history
The oldest surviving mention of the place, as Nussiwilre , comes from 1298. Originally it was probably only a single farm. In 1456 or shortly before, Susanna von Burne sold Nussweiler to the Lords of Lichtenberg . At this point in time, Konrad von Ötingen was the fief of Nussweiler. After the purchase, Ludwig V. von Lichtenberg gives him the fief again. Since in the fiefdom the sovereign rights were exercised by the fiefdom taker, Nussweiler was not incorporated into any office of the Lichtenberg rule . The feudal lordship changed due to the extinction of the Lords of Lichtenberg in 1480 to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg and with the death of the last Count of Hanau, Johann Reinhard III. , 1736 to his grandson, Ludwig (IX.) , Later ruling Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt , son of his daughter, Charlotte , who died before .
With the reunion policy of France under King Louis XIV , Nussweiler came under French suzerainty. With the French Revolution , the traditional administrative structures were eliminated and the village belonged to the canton of Volmunster , which no longer existed from 1790 to 2015 , and since then to the canton of Bitche.
