The village belongs to the Pays de Bitche and to the Northern Vosges Regional Nature Park. As of 2017, the village's population is 1,630. The inhabitants of the commune are known as Montbronnois or Montbronnoises.
The town is crossed from west to east (Main Street) by the D83 which connects Kalhausen to Enchenberg. This road crosses both the D110F and the D36A in the village, linking it to respectively Rohrbach-lès-Bitche and Lemberg. Thoses roads are later extended by several county roads. The nearest entrance to the Autoroute de L'Est (A4 autoroute) is via the D83 through the Sarre-Unioninterchange at Thal-Drulingen.[3][6]
Public transport
The Sarreguemines–Bitche railway line has passed through the neighboring commune of Enchenberg from 1869 to 2014. The railway line is now disused and has been replaced by a TER Grand Est bus line. Today, the nearest SNCF station is in Diemeringen, served by the Sarreguemines–Strasbourg railway line.[7]
School buses to the Lemberg collège (middle school) and to the collèges and lycées (middle and high schools) of Bitche are available during school terms.[8]
The majority of the inhabitants can speak and/or understand German and also speak French. The local dialect is known as Lorraine Franconian. Lorraine Franconian is a dialect of German that has been spoken and developed in the region for over a thousand years.[13]
Studies then go on at the collège La Paraison in Lemberg. To pursue their studies in high school, young Montbronnois mainly go to Bitche or Sarreguemines.
Health
Two general practitioners reside in Montbronn. Thus, both a medical home and a pharmacy are located in the village. As for hospitals, they are located in Bitche, Ingwiller, Sarreguemines, Saverne, Haguenau and Strasbourg.[15][16][17][18]
