The village was first as Bernbach mentioned in 1274, the farm belonged to centering Benshausen in the county Henneberg . The economic basis of the place initially formed the forestry - charcoal burners and lumberjacks. After the Counts of Henneberg died out , the place came under the joint administration of the Saxon Wettins in 1583 and was assigned to the Hallenberg office in the course of the "Benshausen Exchange Agreement " in 1619 , which came under the contract to the Hessian rule of Schmalkalden .

In 1623 the place had 23 houses. In the late 19th century, Bermbach owned 321 hectares of arable land, gardens and meadows, but no community forest. The forests (453 hectares in total) belonging to the district were owned by the Dukes of Saxe Coburg and Gotha. The livestock consisted of two horses, 120 cattle, 80 pigs, 20 goats. The commercial development of the village of Bermbach did not begin until the 19th century. In 1828 the place had 10 linen weavers, 2 farriers and 2 nail smiths. In 1892 there were 15 locksmiths, 1 construction foreman and 8 turners in Bermbach.

In 1879 the church was built as a simultaneous building in traditional half-timbered construction. The building consisted of both a church and a school, which were set up on separate floors in Bermbach. The village school was initially housed on the lower floor, later the doctor’s practice and now the home parlor. The Protestant parish is now part of the Springstille parish.
