Geography

Bousseviller located in the extreme north of Lorraine, a few kilometers south of the border Palatinate, north of Bitche in Hornbachtal, within a large agricultural area, which is bordered by the ausgedehneten Vosges forests.

History

End of the 12th century a settlement at this point is first mentioned, which lay on the border of the dominions of the Counts of Zweibrücken- Bitsch. The name Buss Weyler, later Bussweiler, which should be attributed to the Germanic name Bosso, first appears in 1493. The place was constantly Zweibrücken - Bitsch. From 1790 to 1801 Bousseviller was assigned to the defunct Canton Breidenbach and has since been managed by Volmunster. Ecclesiastical Walschbronn was until 1804 responsible, since Bousseviller belongs to the parish Hanviller.
