The place has belonged to the parish of Altenkirchen since known times and thus, over the centuries, belonged to different rulers: The Counts of Sayn from around the 12th century to 1652, then the Dukes of Saxony-Eisenach and from 1741 the Margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach until this county fell to the King of Prussia in 1792 . Since 1803 the region belonged to the Principality of Nassau-Usingen , 1806 to the Duchy of Nassau , until it became part of the Prussian Province of Lower Rhine in 1815 and to the Rhine Province in 1822 . From 1816 on, Idelberg was administered by the Altenkirchen mayor .
After the introduction of the Reformation in the county of Sayn, the inhabitants were first Lutheran and later reformed . In 1787 there were nine houses in Idelberg, to which the shares of a forest interest group , which originated at the beginning of the 18th century, go back.
