Geology

History

The common consists of two Village S: Nousseviller-Saint-Nabor and his appendix Cadenbronn. One locates the origin of the two villages at or. Their Histoire is separate until in 1808 and 1813 or respectively the Paroisse then the common of Cadenbronn is attached to that of Nousseviller.

During the Gallo-Roman period, a Road secondary called diverticulum , relatively important, connected the “ Herapel ”, the hill on the round of applause of Cocheren where the Romans built a Oppidum, in Sarreguemines. This Roman Voie passed by Cocheren, Folkling, Théding, Nousseviller and Welferding.

At the origin, towards 875, the village of Nousseviller is attached to the church-mother Maxstadt, then later with the Abbaye of Saint-Arnouald. Under the Old Mode, the Holy-Glossinde abbey of Metz has goods in the Village, just as the counts of Saarbrucken. As from the 13th century, Nousweiller becomes property of the counts of Salm, Seigneur S of Puttelange, and this until the 15th century. The county of Puttelange is then directed by a Count, the Rhingraff . The Village S of Guebenhouse, Metzing and Nousseviller form what one called the Mairie Metzing.

Other lords, as well as the Clergy, have goods with Nousseviller, such as for example the Commanderie of Metz of the teutonic Ordre. But as these goods are difficult to manage considering the distance, they are yielded to the Commanderie Saarbrucken. A Document attests that at the beginning of the 15th century, this last sign a contract with the count Johann of Salm of Puttelange to manage the possessions with Nousseviller, contract which is renewed in 1453, with its Simon sons and Johann.

A Document Manuscrit dating from the Règne of Louis XIV speaks to us about the enumeration carried out in 1708. This information of high degree of accuracy confirms that on this date, the Village new account family S, ten boys, ten girls, a servant and two maidservants, which gives us a total of forty-and-a people. It also states that these families have twenty-three horses, nineteen to us Vache S and forty-five Cochon S. If the Village account on this date if few inhabitants, that are explained by the destruction of the area during the Guerre Thirty Year old (1618 - 1648). The Mercenaire S which carry out this Guerre with the undisciplined troops give him a particularly cruel character and devastator.

According to the Lorraine habit , the whole of the round of applause of the Village is subjected to the Moyen-âge with the common grazing land. That means that each owner is not any more on his own ground, starting from October 1st of each year to make eat its animals. The capacity of Pâture of each round of applause is evaluated once for all. Thus according to an expertise on the August 31st 1747, ratified by a Sentence of the Court of Bailliage of Sarreguemines of the December 14th 1747, the round of applause of Nousseviller can nourish a hundred and fifty bovine, eighty Porc S, a hundred and sixty ewes or hundred Mouton S. According to a principle of equivalence, the full capacity of the round of applause is estimated at six hundred and thirty Mouton S. Under the terms of its Droit of common grazing land, the lord can thus maintain in Nousseviller a Troupeau correspondent with a third full capacity, that is to say denx hundred ten Sheep S, while the Bergerie seigneuriale was with Metzing.

After having belonged to the Germany, Nousweiller becomes French in 1766. The village becomes common District of Sarreguemines and canton of Puttelange. Lastly, under the reign of Napoleon I {{er}}, the October 18th 1801, of new changes intervene and the commune is attached to the department the Moselle and the district of Sarreguemines, in the Canton of Forbach.

Etymology

There is in Lorraine a hundred Village S whose Nom comprises the suffix viller , villers or weiler , coming from the low-Latin villare , which means firm , land property . The Village of Nousseviller is quoted for the first time in the year 875, in the form Notumwilre . This Nom becomes successively Norswiller , Noesviller or Noysviller , then Nuswiller name which one already finds under the reign of Louis XIV in 1708. In 1779, the day before the French revolution, one can read Nousweiller .

Worships

It would seem that Nousseviller was already Paroisse at the 13th century, but it is only starting from 1536 that one knows the name of the Curé S which exerted to them Ministère in the Village.

Cadenbronn

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

It is not to exclude that this original maisonnette was a Gallo-Roman villa rustica very first centuries of our era; indeed in 1986, at the time of excavation work of the new cemetery, 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 tiles of the type “tegula - IMBREX” which testify some.

There still exist also traces of older settlement. In 1885, the Archéologue Emile Huber excavated 18 tombs of the type “tumulus” in the forest of Cadenbronn, the BAMBUSCH, located on the road of Rouhling. What he discovered did not leave room to any doubt: they were tombs well the Gallic one having lived there some 2000 years ago (the lucky finds were bequeathed to the Musées of Metz). Still let us announce a trace of the old story, the Roman way of Hérapel with Sarreguemines which passes on the southern heights of the village; a diverticulum left this road to cross the village, to serve the villa rustica and the necropolis of the BAMBUSCH to go towards the villa urbana of ROUHLING, before joining WELFERDING.

The document where figure for the first time the name of the village of Kodenborn goes back to 1485. It is about a parchment of the 11th century giving the list of the members of the Brotherhood of St Vendelin, owner of the village of Diebling. The texts are written in German of time, the Gothic script is neat and quite readable. They mention there the meyger (mayor), syn Frowe (its wife) and yr Kint (their child) of Cadenbronn.

There practically do not exist chronicles reporting the events of the wars such as that of the “bumpkins” in 1525 and the quarrel of the Lords in 1570. With the Middle Ages one finds some traces of the existence of the village who belonged to the duchy of Lorraine. It was given in stronghold to the seigniory of Forbach in 1577.

The Guerre Thirty year old 1618-1648 left only ruins behind it. In the ruins of Kodenborn did not live any more that five people but the village was rebuilt and other inhabitants of the abandoned villages and emigrants joined them to form a more important community (Bettingen and Dittlingen were never 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 forests and the right of common grazing land on the round of applause of Bettingen (in waste land).

The first precise and detailed information comes us from a manuscript the Enumeration in 1708 . This census confirms the presence of 13 families, 21 boys and 16 girls, on the whole an about sixty people; it indicates that these families had 36 horses, 30 cows and 44 pigs to us and cultivated 131 ha (the 2/3 of the round of applause were thus in waste land). The after-effects of the Thirty Year old war were not yet entirely unobtrusive.

Under the old mode, Cadenbronn was one of the 16 villages of the county of Forbach whose Lord was the countess “Marianne von der Leyen”; dowager of the “DUCHY OF TWO BRIDGES” managing woman, strong personality, very cultivated, great fortune, widow of the duke Christian IV. She had solids friendships at the court of Versailles, especially that of the queen Marie-Antoinette.

The chart of the time of the county mentions a vault in ruin in the south of the bell-tower of Codenborn; it is to our knowledge the only document mentioning this vault located at the edge of the Roman way; it gave the name to this locality, and the allotment of Nousseviller; a martyrdom was set up at this place in 1834.

During the revolution of 1789 the village had 120 inhabitants and of placing 19 men at the disposal of the national guard of Forbach. The inhabitants had privileges: the countess did not impose a tax to them for glandée.

After the revolution in 1790 the administrative reforms were of an major importance for the village which was a commune and an autonomous parish; March 14th, 1790 the commune was attached to the canton of Forbach, district of Sarreguemines, department of the Moselle. The registers of the civil statue held hitherto by the priest, were open in town hall and Nicolas Cosar became mayor (his/her Michel father is named mayor of Nousseviller).

After the confiscation of the goods of the church and the sale of its grounds and even of the presbytery, the parish was attached to that of Nousseviller on October 15th, 1808. And five years after, on February 1st, 1813 the mayor Nicolas Cosar following the reorganizations wanted by Napoleon i, has to accept in his turn the fastening of the commune, with that of Nousseviller.

Thus, Cadenbronn lost definitively its communal autonomy and parochial and became “additional of Nousseviller”. N.B. - Fusion was not too painful for Cadenbronner because their mayor Nicolas Cosar having become the first magistrate of the grossgemeinde which had already Hundling and Metzing like appendices.
