Cadenbronn

Cadenbronn is a old commune French Département of the the Moselle. The Village is an appendix of the common today of Nousseviller-Saint-Nabor.

Geography

The Village is located in the Steinart , a calcareous area of to cockle with a Altitude of approximately 300 meters, whereas the heights which form a half-circle around the village culminate with 371 meters.

History

It is not to exclude only the original Maison clear to which the Nom Village would refer was a Gallo-Roman Villa rustica of the very first centuries of our era. Indeed, at the time of excavation work of new the Cemetery in 1986, of the vestiges of such a construction were put at the day. It is certain that the unearthed objects go back to this time, as the Roman Tuile S of the type tegula imbrex which testify some.

There still exist also traces of a older Peuplement. In 1885, the archeologist Emile Huber excavated eighteen Tombe S of the type Tumulus in the Forêt of the Village, the Bambusch , located on the Route of Rouhling. What he discovered did not leave room to any doubt: it was indeed Tombe S of Gaulois having lived there some two thousand years ago. These lucky finds were bequeathed to the Musée S of Metz. The Roman Voie energy of the Hérapel to Sarreguemines also passed on the heights to the south of the village. A secondary way, called diverticulum , left this Route to cross the Village, to serve the Villa rustica and the Nécropole of the Bambusch to move towards the villa urbana of Rouhling, before joining Welferding.

The Document where figure for the first time the Name of the Village of Kodenborn date of 1485. It is about a Parchemin of the 11th century giving the list of the members of the Confrérie of St Vendelin, Patron of the Village close to Diebling. The texts are written in German time, the Gothic script is neat and quite readable. They mention there the meyger (Maire), syn Frowe (its wife) and yr Kint (their child) of Cadenbronn.

There practically does not exist Chronique S reporting the events of the Guerre S such as that of the Rustauds in 1525 and the quarrel of the Lords in 1570. With the the Middle Ages, one finds some traces of the existence of the Village, belonging to the Duché of Lorraine. It is given in Fief to the Seigneurie of Forbach in 1577. The Guerre Thirty Year old (1618 - 1648) leaves only ruins behind it. In the ruins of Kodenborn did not live any more that five people but the Village is rebuilt and other inhabitants of the abandoned villages and emigrants joined them to form a more important community. Indeed, Bettingen and Dittlingen will never be rebuilt. A declaration of right , another document provided in 1700 by the community of Codenborn to the lord of Forbach, declares the right common of use of two Forêt S and the right of common grazing land on the Ban in Friche of Bettingen.

The first precise and detailed information comes us from a Manuscrit of enumeration in 1708. This one confirms the presence of thirteen families, blackjack boys and sixteen girls, is thus on the whole an about sixty people. It indicates that these families have thirty-six horses, thirty to us Vache S and forty-four Cochon S, while they cultivate 131 hectares, which means that two thirds of the Ban was in waste land. The Séquelle S of the Guerre Thirty Year old are not yet entirely unobtrusive.

Under the Old Mode, Cadenbronn is one of the sixteen Village S of the Comté of Forbach, whose lord is the countess Marianne von der Leyen. Dowager of the duchy of Double-decker, managing woman, strong personality very cultivated and great fortune, it is the widow of the duke Christian IV. She has solids Amitié S with the court of Versailles, in particular that of the queen Marie-Antoinette.

During the revolution of 1789, the Village has a hundred and twenty inhabitants and must place nineteen men at the disposal of the national guard of Forbach. The inhabitants have privileges, since the countess does not impose a to them Taxe for the Glandée. After the Revolution, in 1790, the administrative reforms are of an major importance for the Village, which constituted a common and a autonomous Paroisse. The March 14th 1790 the common is attached to the Canton of Forbach, in the district of Sarreguemines and the department of the the Moselle. The registers of the civil statue held hitherto by the Curé are then open in Mairie and Nicolas Cosar becomes Maire, while his/her Michel father is named with Nousseviller.

The 1813, is five years after the Paroisse is attached to that of Nousseviller-Saint-Nabor, the Maire Nicolas Cosar, following the reorganizations wanted by the Empereur Napoleon I {{er}}, must accept in its turn the fastening of the commune to that of Nousseviller. Thus, Cadenbronn loses definitively its communal autonomy and parochial and became additional of Nousseviller. Fusion is however not too painful for the Cadenbronner , because their mayor Nicolas Cosar became the first magistrate of the Grossgemeinde , which has already Hundling and Metzing like appendices.

Etymology

Name Cadenbronn is sometimes explained by deformation of German Guter Brunnen , which means Good Fountain , but if one seeks an explanation of the name starting from the Germanic Kote , which means Hutte , one does not have a sorrow to imagine that in the beginning the Village was tiny room to a Kote amndt Bronn , i.e. with a maisonnette close to a source. Besides one wrote in 1577 Kodeborn , in 1594 Kodenburn and in 1694 Kadeborn . The Village is quoted in 1709 in the form Cadenbouren , while in 1770, a erroneous Traduction names it Bonne Fountain , before becoming Kadenbronn , at the time of the annexation to the Reich in 1870. The K will be replaced thereafter by a C , in order to francize the name.

Worships

The Carte of the Comté at the 18th century mentions a Chapelle ruins some in the south of the Village. It is about the only document mentioning this Chapelle, located at the edge of the Roman Voie. It gives its Nom to this locality, like with the Lotissement of Nousseviller; a Calvaire is set up there in 1834.

After the Confiscation of the goods of the Church and the Sale of its grounds and even of the Presbytery according to the Revolution of 1789, the Paroisse is attached to that of Nousseviller the October 15th 1808.
