The place on the Romance-Germanic language border was first mentioned in 770, as well as in 1103 as Castrum Richis Curtis and in 1273 as Ruchesingne.[1] He belonged to the diocese of Metz.[2]

As an imperial fief independent of the Duchy of Lorraine, the town belonged to the Counts of Leiningen from the 13th century. Belonging to German Bellism, their rule included Rixingen, among other things. the towns of Avricourt, Gondrexange (Gunderchingen) and Xouaxange (Schweixingen). During the Thirty Years' War, Rixingen was looted and devastated four times by the Swedes between 1628 and 1630. In 1667, Adolf Johann I of Zweibrücken came into possession of the imperial fiefdom of Rixingen through purchase; in the 18th century the Dukes of Richelieu owned the county.[1]

Through the Peace of Frankfurt on May 10, 1871, the region came to the German state of Alsace-Lorraine, and the village was assigned to the Saarburg district in the Lorraine district. Rixingen was the canton's capital.[2] After the First World War, the region had to be ceded to France in 1919 due to the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and became part of the Moselle department. During the Second World War, the region was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from June 1940 to mid-1944 and was under German administration. On November 18, 1944, the place was taken by US forces in alliance with the 44th French Infantry Division,[3] which was followed by the battles for Alsace and Lorraine.

Réchicourt-le-Château belonged to the constituency (canton) of Réchicourt-le-Château until it was dissolved in 2015. Unfortunately, it is not worth visiting the ruins of the château. Danger of collapse.
