History edit

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, has merged on January 1, 2017. Since then, every commune of the Bitche canton has been part of the same intercommunality.[3]

The communauté de communes consists of the following 46 communes:[2][4]
