After the "Cahiers des Pays de la Nied" the village had the following names between 1293 and today: BELWILRE, BERWURE, BERWILRE, BERWEILER, BURWEILER on the gravel (on the gravel), BERSCHWEILER, BERSWEILER, BERVOYER, BERVEILLER and finally BERVILLER-en -Moselle. According to H. Niegel, this name should come from the Germanic name Bero and the Latin villare.

Research in the Nancy archives has shown that Berweiler "auf dem Kies" is one of the thirty parishes that depend on the Bérus rulership and has nine fireplaces, a number that, according to experts, corresponds to around fifty inhabitants.

In the Seigneury archives it says: "There is nobody in Berweiler anymore". The Thirty Years' War has just hit the region. No village is spared between Rosselle and Nied. Iron, fire and plague destroy almost the entire population. For a long time, this apocalyptic period remained inscribed in the collective unconscious under the name "Swedish War".

The best-known representative of the community is the Guldner family, who have produced many sculptors since the 17th century. The places where her works can still be seen are mainly Bérus, Sarreguemines (St. Nicolas church), Grosbliederstroff (church and chapel) as well as Kemplich and Waldwisse. But not only these five Guldners, who worked together in a joint workshop, are known, there are also no fewer than 29 sculptors among their descendants!

⛪ **Church of Berviller-en-Moselle – Rural Romanesque with Charm**

The **Église Saint-Michel** in **Berviller-en-Moselle** is a small but striking church in the heart of the village. With its **Romanesque architectural style**, a simple, rectangular floor plan, and a slender bell tower, it reflects the simplicity and dignity of rural religious architecture.

🕍 The interior features some Baroque elements and a well-maintained altar area – lovingly preserved and the center of village life.

**Tip:** Anyone hiking or cycling through the Canner Valley should pause here for a moment. The church is usually in a quiet location and offers a contemplative atmosphere.
