history

Flammersfeld was the first time in a document from Cologne Archbishop Hermann III. von Hochstaden mentioned when on December 13, 1096 he awarded the Siegburg Abbey the "Dean's Office in Auelgau" together with goods from Flammersfeld.

Flammersfeld belonged to the county of Sayn-Hachenburg until 1806 . The county of Sayn-Hachenburg fell to the princes of Nassau-Weilburg by inheritance in 1799 . In 1806 the two Nassau princes joined the Napoleonic Rhine Confederation , so that from 1806 the region belonged to the Duchy of Nassau . A participant in the Congress of Vienna made (1815) agreements, the territory of the former saynischen counties was to the Kingdom of Prussia ceded .

Under the Prussian administration, Flammersfeld was assigned the administrative seat of a mayor's office of the same name in the newly established Altenkirchen district , which from 1822 on belonged to the Rhine Province .

The previously independent municipality of Ahlbach was incorporated in 1939.

Until December 31, 2019, Flammersfeld was the seat of the Verbandsgemeinde Flammersfeld, which emerged from the former Flammersfeld office in 1968 as part of the first regional reform in Rhineland-Palatinate . In 2020, this merged into the community of Altenkirchen-Flammersfeld as part of a voluntary merger.
