history

Kisselbach was first mentioned in a document as "Kisilbath" in a boundary description of the Mörschbach parish from 1006. However, this could also just be the stream that is located east of Steinbach and that is still the boundary today.

Kisselbach has always been separated by the Simmerbach into two districts of the same name, one part belonged to the Electorate of Trier (Amt Oberwesel ) and was formerly imperial , the other to the Electoral Palatinate or the Principality of Simmern . With the occupation of the Left Bank of the Rhine in 1794 by French revolutionary troops , the places became French, from 1798 to 1814 it belonged to the canton of Simmern in the Rhine-Mosel department . After the French era , in 1815, the places were assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna . It was not until 1939 that Kisselbach on this side and Kisselbach on the other side were merged into one municipality. Since 1946 the place has been part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
