history

Local history

First mentioned in 1397 as Hirstein. Hirstein belonged to the county of Veldenz, which was inherited from the Duchy of Pfalz-Zweibrücken. In the course of the French Revolution it came to the Mairie Walhausen. In April 1817 Hirstein was the only place in today's Namborn community to join the Principality of Birkenfeld in the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg . In 1937 the remaining district of St. Wendel-Baumholder with the former principality / state part of Birkenfeld became the newly formed district of Birkenfeld. On July 20, 1946, Hirstein came to the Türkismühle office in Saarland (renamed the Nohfelden office from November 1, 1956) and to the Namborn office on May 1, 1947.

On January 1, 1974, Hirstein was incorporated into the municipality of Namborn.
