history

In the oldest documents one finds the name form Brambach or Branbach . Only in modern times is Niederbrombach differentiated from Oberbrombach.

Brombach was the suburb of the Trierian , then the Sponheimischen possessions south of the Idarwald , and within the high court and district Brombach had become and remained the suburb of its own large ban , its own care and its own parish. Secular and ecclesiastical property coincided so completely that in the 18th century the term parish was also applied to the administrative district. During the course of the Middle Ages, the great spell was subject to increasing disintegration as the settlement progressed. First of all, a dichotomy took place in the early Middle Ages, which was to be repeated later in the 18th century in the church.

Niederbrombach was the center of the old ban, so the care, the court and the parish . It was not until the middle of the 18th century that Brombach care was shared not only for the church but also for the administration and the court. Under French rule from 1797 to 1814, the parish was replaced by a mairie . From 1815 to 1817 the Brombacher care was Prussian, from 1817 to 1937 Oldenburg , then again for a few years Prussian . Since 1946 this area belongs to the federal state Rhineland-Palatinate .
