history
Oberehren was mentioned in a document in 1502, when the Cistercian Abbot Johann Fessersmyt sold his farm in Oberarus to the Abbey of Marienstatt . The place belonged to the parish of Puderbach. In 1806 Oberehren came from the County of Wied-Runkel to the Duchy of Nassau . As part of the parish Puderbach the village belonged there to the Office Dierdorf in the administrative district of Ehrenbreitstein . After the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the area around Upper Ferries became part of the Kingdom of Prussia . There the place belonged to the mayor's office Puderbach in the Neuwied district in the Koblenz administrative district . This became part of the Rhine Province in 1822 .
From the 18th to the early 20th century, iron ore mining was carried out in Oberarus . The mayor's office in Puderbach was renamed to Amt Puderbach in 1927 and merged ten years later with the Amt Niederwambach to form the new Amt Puderbach, from which today's association municipality Puderbach was founded on January 1, 1968 . The municipality of Oberehren was incorporated into Döttesfeld on June 7, 1969 as part of a regional reform. At the time of the dissolution, the community had 93 inhabitants.
