In 1790 85 families lived in the village of Mambächel and the associated hamlet of Mambächeler Höfe. The district covered around 1200 hectares . During the so-called French era , the municipality of Mambächel belonged to the canton of Baumholder in the Saardepartement from 1798 to 1814 . In 1817 he was part of the Saxon-Coburg principality of Lichtenberg and came with this in 1834 to the Prussian district of St. Wendel in the Rhine province .
