history
Ehlenbach is first mentioned in 1325. It belonged to the Sien lordship in the Wildgräflichen High Court on the Heide and was administered from 1701 by the Kirchenbollenbach mayor. In French times, Ehlenbach was assigned to Kirchenbollenbach and was part of the canton of Baumholder . After the Congress of Vienna in 1816 it was assigned to the Coburg-Saalfeld canton of Grumbach and the mayor's office of Mittelbollenbach, later to the mayor's office of Sien , in the Principality of Lichtenberg and in 1834 fell to Prussia . It was not until 1909 that the town became part of the Weierbach mayor's office, where it remained until it was dissolved.
