history

In 1397 a Johann von Krumbach became a follower of Junker Godart, Mr. zu Ütgenbach . The noble family "von Krumbach" had three eagle heads in their coat of arms, which the Lords of Panau (Panau is today a district of Neustadt (Wied) ) also had in their coat of arms. The three eagle heads were incorporated into the coat of arms of the Asbach community . The Lords of Krumbach administered the "Aldenhover Zehnt " (tenure), whose district stretched from Hussen to Altenhofen and from Ditscheid to Parscheid . In 1517 a later Johann von Krumbach and in 1537 a Friedrich von Krumbach were in the service of the Electoral Cologne office of Altenwied . Below Krumbach there was a water castle mentioned in a document in 1591, which was the seat of the von Krumbach family.

Krumbach belonged to the electorate of Cologne until 1803 . The place was part of the " Honnschaft Limbach", which belonged to the parish of Asbach and was under the administration of the Electoral Cologne Office Altenwied . According to an inventory ordered by Cologne Elector Maximilian Heinrich in 1660, there was only one farm in Krumbach.

After the Rhineland came to Prussia in 1815 , Krumbach belonged to the Limbach community in the then newly formed Neuwied district and was administered by the Mayor's Office Asbach . According to a census from 1885, Krumbach had 60 inhabitants who lived in 9 houses.
