In 1816 the place came into the possession of the Duchy of Nassau , which was annexed to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1866 as a result of the so-called German War .

After the First World War , during the Allied occupation of the Rhineland , the town was located in a narrow corridor between the bridgeheads on the right bank of the Rhine between the Americans around Koblenz and the French around Mainz.

Ergeshausen has been part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate since 1946 . In 1972, as part of the Rhineland-Palatinate “functional and territorial reform”, the community of Katzenelnbogen was formed, to which the local community of Ergeshausen belonged until 2019 and which was then merged into the community of Aar-Einrich.
