history
The place name is first documented as Ulsbure around 1260. After various modifications, the current spelling can be found around 1720. The origin of the place name is interpreted differently as a brook name or as the mountain of the Uhle.
Oelsberg belonged to the Niedergrafschaft Katzenelnbogen and was subordinate to the Reichenberg Office and the Ruppertshofen Court .
From 1806 to 1813 the area was under French administration ( pays réservé ). After the Congress of Vienna (1815), the region and thus also Oelsberg were assigned to the Duchy of Nassau on the basis of an exchange contract in 1816 . As a result of the so-called German War , the Duchy of Nassau was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1866 . After the First World War , Oelsberg was occupied until the French withdrew in 1929. The place was captured by American troops on March 27, 1945. After the Second World War it belonged to the French zone of occupation and has been part of the then newly created state of Rhineland-Palatinate since 1946 .
