Willerwald (French pronunciation: [vilœʁvald]) is a commune in the Moselle department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.

In parallel to the RN 61 but bypassing the village, the railway line serving the Hambach Europole crosses the town.

On June 6, 1940, the church was damaged when French artillery fired on it, believing that it was being used by the Germans as an observation post.

The current church, also dedicated to Saint Nicholas, was built to replace it in 1955 [4] During the Second World War, the population of the village was evacuated on September 1, 1939 to the department of Charente (first to Salles-d'Angles, then to Châteaubernard and Saint-Félix).

During the Lorraine campaign in late 1944 the village was bombed on December 4, which completely destroyed 47 houses and severely damaged the remaining buildings.
