In 1350 it built a large ring-shaped castle on the basalt knoll of the Hohenseelbachskopf, which was destroyed again by the Archbishop of Trier in 1352. On March 4, 1739, with the death of Johann Konrad Wilhelm von Seelbach-Reuss in Zeppenfeld, the lineage of the Lords of Seelbach went out.
The first fire in the village probably took place before 1750. There is no more information on this. In the summer of 1757 it burned for the second time in Altenseelbach. On September 29, 1783, a lightning bolt triggered another major fire, in which 57 houses and 49 barns burned down. Four houses were spared because they were on the eastern edge of the village. As early as 1788 there were 61 houses in the village again. Due to the rebuilding of Altenseelbach and the resulting parallel streets, the nickname "Reihendorf" was created.
A school was built in 1905 after the first building was demolished in 1878. On July 25, 1920, the war memorial was inaugurated in the village. In 1931 the Altenseelbach community lived from ore mining. Of the 1230 inhabitants, 1,055 were Protestant, 19 Catholic and 156 of other denominations. Facilities were, for example, a primary school and a sports field.
Until the municipal reorganization on January 1, 1969, the place belonged to the office of Burbach .

Attractions
The Hohenseelbachskopf is one of the large basalt domes that were created here around 7 million years ago through volcanic activity. Basalt mining for road construction led to the removal of the dome between 1900 and 1925, but not as much as in neighboring Mahlscheid . The area on the Hohenseelbachskopf has been a nature reserve since 1990. Today there is a restaurant on the mountain. the Köppel is a popular destination. In 1350, the noble family von Seelbach built a large ring-shaped castle fortress on the basalt knoll, which was destroyed two years later by the Archbishop of Trier because their owners were alleged robber barons .
