Burgalben is located on the western edge of the Palatinate Forest in the so-called Palatinate Woodland . The Schwarzbach flows through Burgalben . Burgalben also includes the nationally known pilgrimage site of Maria Rosenberg , the youth village Sickingen, the group of houses “Am Wallerbühl” and the Harzkaut and Moschelmühle residential areas .
history
middle Ages
The name of the place is derived from the Schwarzbach, which is also known as Burgalb in the upper reaches . The village belonged to the Lemberg office of the County of Zweibrücken-Bitsch and there to the Donsieders official school . The Muschelmühle (Moschelmühle) and the Sinnmühle belonged to Burgalben.
Modern times
Count Jakob von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (* 1510; † 1570) died in 1570 as the last male member of his family. The Lemberg office was inherited by his daughter, Ludovica Margaretha von Zweibrücken-Bitsch , who was married to the (heir) Count Philipp (V) von Hanau-Lichtenberg . Her father-in-law, Count Philipp IV. Von Hanau-Lichtenberg , gave the strict Roman Catholic Duke Karl III by immediately introducing the Lutheran creed . of Lorraine, the opportunity to intervene militarily, as the latter had suzerainty over the Bitsch rule, which was also part of the inheritance . In July 1572 Lorraine troops occupied the county. Since Philip IV was unable to cope with the overwhelming power of Lorraine, he chose the legal route. In the subsequent process before the Imperial Court of Justice, Lorraine was able to prevail with regard to the Bitsch rule, while the Lemberg office - and thus also Burgalben - was awarded to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg .
1736 died with Count Johann Reinhard III. the last male representative of the Hanau family. Due to the marriage of his only daughter, Charlotte (* 1700; † 1726), with the Hereditary Prince Ludwig (VIII.) (* 1691; † 1768) of Hesse-Darmstadt , the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg fell there. In the course of the French Revolution , the part of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg on the left bank of the Rhine - and with it the Office of Lemberg and Burgalben - fell to France in 1793. After the end of Napoleonic rule, Burgalben came to the Bavarian Rhine District .
Burgalben belonged to the mayor's office of Waldfischbach even before 1919. In the course of the administration reform in Rhineland-Palatinate, Burgalben was merged on June 7, 1969 with the neighboring community of Waldfischbach to form the new community of Waldfischbach-Burgalben.

Blazon : "divided by red and gold, right the goldbekrönte and -gewandete Madonna, in her left the goldbekrönte child, holding in his right hand a four-leaf bestielte silver rose, left a blue reinforced and -bezungter red lion." |
| Justification for the coat of arms: The red lion depicted in the coat of arms indicates that it belongs to the County of Zweibrücken , the Madonna indicates the pilgrimage site of Maria Rosenberg. The red lion with its golden background was later incorporated into the coat of arms of the newly formed community of Waldfischbach-Burgalben. |
