Krähenberg was created through resettlement when residents of Wiesbach moved to the heights. The place was first mentioned in 1564 under the name Newen Wiesbach am Creenborn . In 1635, Krähenberg was depopulated. From 1700 onwards settlers followed, who moved up from the damp valleys. There are several parallels to this at Sickinger Höhe. The Krähenberger district was formed around 1800. Until then, the place still belonged to Wiesbach.
On May 5, 1869, the name Krähenberg became widely known after the Krähenberger meteorite fell here . The noise of the impact was perceived as far as the Rhine plain. The meteorite is now in the Palatinate Museum for Natural History in Bad Dürkheim .
In 1920, the congregation moved from the district office Homburg for district office two bridges .
