history
The first documentary mention dates from the year 1310. Leideneck belonged to the rear county of Sponheim until the end of the 18th century . The place gave its name to an administrative and judicial district called “Leidenecker Pflege”, to which the neighboring villages of Krastel and Völkenroth also belonged. Nursing was an administrative and judicial district headed by a nurse . The Leidenecker care was subordinate to the office Kastellaun , which after the last division in 1778 belonged to the Duke of Pfalz-Zweibrücken .
In 1794 the Left Bank of the Rhine was taken by French revolutionary troops. From 1798 to 1814, Leideneck belonged to the canton of Kastellaun in the Saar department . As a result of the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna , the region and with it Leideneck became part of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 . Under the Prussian administration, the community of Leideneck was assigned to the mayor's office of Kastellaun in the newly established district of Simmern , which belonged to the Rhine province from 1822 onwards.
The Leidenecker are predominantly of Protestant denomination . In 1784 there were 31 Lutheran households and 10 Catholic households, in 1850: 43 and 4. In 1850 the Evangelicals broke away from Bell and formed their own parish in Leideneck. Since 1852, Leideneck has had its own church with an organ (from 1885) from the workshop of the Oberlinger Windesheim brothers . The parish has been with Kappel since 1854 and has been parishioners with Bell since 1976. Since January 1, 2016, the Bell-Leideneck-Uhler parish has consisted of the previously independent parishes of Bell , Leideneck and Uhler , which had been parishioners since 2009. The few Catholics belong to the Kappel parish.
In place of the Protestant elementary school, which was dissolved in 1972, a communal parish hall was built in 1974.
With the municipal reform in Rhineland-Palatinate, with effect from March 17, 1974, the previously independent political municipality was assigned to the municipality of Bell and the Verbandsgemeinde Kastellaun.

economy
Leideneck was characterized by small farms. Today agriculture is only practiced as a sideline . Many of the small craft workshops that ran alongside agriculture were also given up. On the outskirts there was a timber house company that had emerged from a joinery and a sawmill . After a takeover, it was closed and operations were relocated. The company premises are used by a carpentry company and a company that operates tire wholesalers.
There is a car workshop and an inn in the village itself.
The rest of the workforce commute to workplaces, some of which are far away.
Major fires

An adjacent residential building was also badly affected. The house became uninhabitable due to heat and fire fighting water . The residents of the house, a family with two young children and a roommate, found shelter with relatives.
In the early morning hours of February 26, 1992, the workshop building of the local timber house construction company burned down. A 32 m by 10 m large hall burned down completely and millions of euros were lost.
