Bliesbruck (French pronunciation: [blizbʁyk]; German: Bliesbrücken) is a commune in the Moselle department in Grand Est in northeastern France.

According to carved stone objects found in the village area, the valley of the Blies was inhabited by people since before the region belonged to the Roman Republic.

Later, new peoples settled in the region, such as the Celts, Belgians and Ligurians.

Before the conquest of the Gauls in 52 B.C. the area was apparently populated by the Mediomatrici.

Under the Roman Republic and Roman Empire, the region experienced phenomenal growth. It can be noted that the town of Steinfelder, corresponds to the current location of the archaeological excavations of Bliesbruck-Reinheim.

The only testimony of the Merovingian era in the commune, is the discovery of four merovingian warriors' tombs.^[3]

The name Bliesbruck, is a reduction of the German-speaking name of the village, which is Bliesbrücken. This means "bridges over the Blies", in fact, Brücke means "bridge" in German and takes -en in the plural. It must refer to the fact that the bridge connecting the two main parts of the village was often rebuilt, the first being a simple wooden bridge, then replaced by a vaulted bridge, destroyed during the Second World War, then replaced by a wooden bridge by the French and the Americans. It was only in the 1970s that the current bridge was built.

Bliesbruck is twinned with :
