history

Niederkumbd was first mentioned in a document in 1310. At that time the place was still called Hasencomede and was closely connected with the monastery in today's Klosterkumbd . In the Middle Ages there was a local noble family of the same name. Disputes between the county of Sponheim and the Count Palatinate led to a feud over the place in 1368 . Thereafter, the Count of Sponheim had to recognize the Palatine sovereignty in the place. Since 1410 the place belonged to the Duchy of Simmern , which introduced the Reformation in 1556 . Later the Count Palatine was again sovereign at the Rhine. With the occupation of the left bank of the Rhine in 1794 by French revolutionary troops , the place became French, in 1815 it was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna .
