History
The origin of the name Marbache is still unclear. Mar - (French: marais ) probably originates from the Celtic ( = swamp or pond). The fact that the ending- bache back to the Germanic Bach, is doubted by some researchers because the place is located less than 40 kilometers south-west of the old Roman- Germanic language border.
In ancient written sources can be found for the following place names: Mahrwogicca ( 797 in the cartulary of the Abbey Gorze ) Merbechia ( 896 in Zwentibold ) Marbage ( 1181 ) and Marbaiche ( 1333).
In the forest of Marbache emerged in the 12th century a priory of Premonstratensian abbey of Pont- à -Mousson. Remains of this building called Le Menil are still preserved, in particular the entrance with the inscription of the year 1141st The monks operated a mill, among other things, is reminiscent of the as well as at the entrance of the Priory still in the arms of the municipality.
In the village Marbache which lived by farming and wine growing (85 hectares in 1888 ), began in 1850 a new chapter in the history of the construction of the railway line from Metz to Nancy. When excavation work to fill up the track on the narrow Moseltal iron ore -bearing rock was found. The newly formed iron ore mine supplied the foundry in the near Pont-à- Mousson and enabled there the rise of the metallurgical industry. The population of Marbache grew in the years after the opening of the mine significantly: while in 1841 there are 673 residents were counted, there were in 1881 already 1210 inhabitants.
Due to the low iron share in the ore of iron ore mining ended in 1957. The entrances to the former tunnels are closed today and secured.
