Both the Catholics and the Protestants belonged to Elmstein, the next school was in Speyerbrunn.

Under the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform in 1969, he became part of the now Wilgartswiesen hot congregation of the dissolved district Bergzabern in the district Pirmasens . In the course of land consolidation on January 1, 1976, Erlenbach was slammed together with the neighboring towns of Schwarzbach and Speyerbrunn Elmstein.
