Audun-le-Tiche

Audun-le-Tiche (French pronunciation: [odɛ̃ lə tiʃ]; German: Deutsch-Oth; Luxembourgish: Däitsch-Oth) is a commune in the Moselle department in Grand Est in northeastern France.

Nowadays, these two cities are respectively named Deutsch-Oth and Welsch-Oth in German.

The history of mining in Audun-le-Tiche and its decline has been described in the writings of Aurélie Filippetti.

The company headquarter later moved to nearby Luxembourg, and in 1801 to Mettlach, Germany.
