Stiring-Wendel (French pronunciation: [stiʁɛ̃ vɑ̃dɛl]; Lorraine Franconian: Stiringe; German Stieringen-Wendel) is a commune in the Moselle department in Grand Est in north-eastern France, wedged between Forbach, Schœneck, Spicheren and Saarbrücken.

Charles de Wendel undertook construction of the very modern Stiring factory in 1846, mainly to manufacture railway rails.

In 1865 the Wendel metallurgical factories were taking 7⁄8 of the output from the Compagnie de Stiring, paying below market prices.

By imperial decree of Napoleon III, the city was elevated to a fully autonomous municipality on 3 June 1857, and separate from Forbach.

[8] Most of the armored American forces in this area turned north at this point to counter the German advance into Belgium ("Battle of the Bulge").
