Until the end of the 18th century the place belonged to Nassau-Weilburg and its rule Kirchheim and Stauf as well as to the bishopric of Worms and was there under the Neuleiningen Episcopal Cellar .
From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Ramsen was incorporated into the canton of Göllheim and was the seat of its own mairie , which also included Stauf . In 1815 it was added to Austria . Just one year later, the place, like the entire Palatinate, changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 Ramsen was part of the Kirchheim Land Commissioner - later Kirchhheimbolanden ; from this the district office of Kirchhheimbolanden emerged.
From 1939 the place was part of the Kirchheimbolanden district . After the Second World War , Ramsen became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In the course of the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate , Ramsen moved to the newly formed Donnersbergkreis in 1969 ; three years later the community was incorporated into the also newly formed Eisenberg (Palatinate) community .
