Abreschviller

Abreschviller (French pronunciation: [abʁɛʃvilɛʁ]; German: Alberschweiler) is a commune in the Moselle department in Grand Est in northeastern France.

Abreschviller is a small, long-drawn-out, village in the Vosges mountains, surrounded by vast forests. It is located 15 kilometers south of Sarrebourg, and 25 kilometers from Phalsbourg, at the border between Lorraine and Alsace.

The village is crossed by the Red Saar. The highest point of the commune is the Grossmann forest house at 968 meters above sea level.

The origin of this village is rather recent. However this location was populated since the Antiquity.

In 1660, there were only 48 houses there.

The counts of Dabo (or Dachsbourg), with the concessions they granted them, the rights to exploit the forests of their domain, attracted French families who built houses on the banks of the Red Saar and populated Abreschviller gradually.

In the course of the 17th and 18th centuries, fifteen sawmills and two paper mills were built on the village territory.

Many workers came from all over the region to work in the forest of Abreschviller. They arrived on Monday and left on Saturday.
