Stiring-Wendel, Administrative division in Grand Est region, France.
Stiring-Wendel is positioned between Forbach and Saarbrücken, serving as a central administrative hub for thirteen communes in the Moselle department.
The commune gained independence through Napoleon III's imperial decree in 1857, separating from Forbach to establish its municipal identity.
The town maintains strong French-German bilingual traditions, reflected in local education systems and community celebrations throughout the year.
The canton headquarters manages administrative services for multiple communes, including Alsting, Behren-lès-Forbach, Bousbach, and Spicheren.
Charles de Wendel constructed a railway rail manufacturing facility in 1846, transforming the area into an industrial center with specialized worker housing.
