When the province of Trois-Évêchés was created in 1552, a first Franco-Luxembourgish border came into existence: it was located between the north of the arrondissement of Metz and the south of that of Thionville.

[6] The King ceded to the Empress-Queen, via Article XVIII, his rights, claims and possessions over the villages and places located to the left of the Frisange stream.

[7] The King of France ceded to the Empress-Queen, on the border of Luxembourg, the village, land and seigneury of Sommethonne [fr], as well as the property of Haillon with their belongings, dependencies and annexes (article XXIX).

[8] The communes of Évrange and Hagen were united by decree of 12 April 1811 in Frisange (at the time in the Department of Forests); then reintegrated into the Moselle, under the treaty of 1814.

[11] The last modification of the course of the border dates from 2007 with the exchange of land with a total area of 87,679m2 between the French municipality of Russange and that of Luxembourg Sanem, west of Esch-sur-Alzette, as part of a brownfields project to reconvert steel wastelands into tertiary and university hubs.
