Plaque

Oberjeckenbach was a pure street village, divided into upper and lower villages. Some houses to the right of the Jeckenbach were called Überdorf. Here, next to the old school house, there was a belfry with a bell, the village pond and the village fountain.

Oberjeckenbach was Protestant and earlier part of the county of Grumbach . The Catholic residents were parishioners of the Catholic community in Offenbach from 1889 .

The community belonged to the mayor's office of Grumbach and the parish of Herren-Sulzbach. In 1933 the place had 309 inhabitants. The residents had to leave the place when the Baumholder military training area was set up. In 1939 Oberjeckenbach still had 26 inhabitants. With the establishment of the military training area, the place became a desert .

After the Second World War there was a temporary resettlement by returnees, also due to the housing shortage. At times the place had up to 240 inhabitants again, but in 1963 the last inhabitants left the village for good.

By the Rhineland-Palatinate "State Law on the Dissolution of the Gutsbezirks Baumholder and its local reorganization" of November 2, 1993 (GVBl. P. 518), the area was reclassified on January 1, 1994 to the local community Unterjeckenbach in the Kusel district .
