History & geography

History

The town was formed in 1810, by the merging of the three villages of La Croix, La Houve, and Wilhelmsbronn. It continued to be known as Creutzwald-la-Croix until 1961, when the name was simplified. Until that point, it had been redundant, as the German word Kreuz, and French Croix both mean "cross". Like the other communes of the present-day Moselle department, Creutzwald was annexed to the German Empire from 1871 to 1918. During the Second World War, the commune was annexed by the Third Reich. It was not liberated until December 1944. Creutzwald was the last town in France to have a working coal mine, in La Houve, which closed on 23 April 2004.
