The written tradition begins in the 10th century. In 972, Emperor Otto I gave the meat market in Urebach to Hornbach Monastery . The place Auerbach , called Kesselauerbach , Unterauerbach and Niederauerbach since the 13th century to distinguish it from Oberauerbach , always shared the national affiliation of the city of Zweibrücken, was parish after Contwig and until the French Revolution the seat of a mayor's shop.

Economy and Infrastructure
Today, agriculture is only practiced from a few resettler farms located above the village on the edge of the Sickinger Höhe .
For centuries, the well-suited clay was used for brick production, which was operated at times in large factories. After a major fire around 1965, the Weppler brickworks , the vast area of which is largely still awaiting sustainable use, was not put back into operation.
Around 1900 there was a great economic boom with the shoe industry . The world-famous Dorndorf shoes came from Niederauerbach, and their manufacturing facility at times had more than 4,500 employees. After the Second World War , there were lengthy disputes over ownership, because the " Aryanization " had forced the Jewish owners, the Langermann family, to sell well below their value. With the increasing relocation of shoe production abroad, the workforce shrank more and more, Dorndorf merged in 1970 with Servas OHG Schuhfabriken from Rodalben to form Schuh-Union AG. In 1970, the two companies were the largest German shoe manufacturers after the industry leader Salamander, with sales of around 150 million D-Mark (Dorndorf) and around 100 million EUR (Servas) . The combined annual production of the Dorndorf and Servas brands was around 100 million pairs of shoes in the year of the merger. With just a few employees, the location has only existed as a shoe trading company since 2003. Otherwise, the current owner, Rieker, is building a business park in the complex, which has already seen some successful settlement.
traffic
Until 1985 the Zweibrücken-Niederauerbach station on the Landau – Rohrbach railway line was operated by passengers. Five years later, freight traffic also came to a standstill.
An extensive industrial area was created between the town and the bypass road, the former B 10 , which was downgraded after the A 8 was built.
There are two city bus routes to the core city of Zweibrücken.
