Situation of the communauté de communes du Pays de Bitche (red) in the Moselle department

The communauté de communes du Pays de Bitche (French for "Pays de Bitche community of communes", German: Gemeindeverband Bitscherland) is a federation of municipalities (communauté de communes), located in the Moselle department of the Grand Est administrative region in north-eastern France.

History

The Pays de Bitche community of communes was established on December 15, 2009 by a prefectoral decree dating from December 2. It resulted from the merging of 3 of the 4 former Pays de Bitche communauté de communes : Bitche et environs, Volmunster et environs and Pays du Verre et du Cristal.

The last one of the four, the communauté de communes de Rohrbach-lès-Bitche, will merge on January 1, 2017. After this date, every commune of the Bitche canton will be part of the same intercommunality.[2]
