Obermohr was mentioned for the first time in 987, Steinwend in 1180 and Weltersbach in 1328. From 1559 to 1592 Steinwend belonged to Palatinate-Lautern , then until the end of the 18th century to the Electoral Palatinate . Within the latter, the three places were subordinate to the Oberamt Lautern , Obermohr and Weltersbach were assigned to the court of Ramstein , Steinwend formed its own court to which the villages of Kottweiler , Mackenbach , Miesenbach and Schwandheim also belonged.

From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Steinwend was incorporated into the canton of Landstuhl . Then the place changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 he was a member of the Homburg Land Commissioner ; from this the district office of Homburg emerged. Since part of the district office - including Homburg itself - was added to the newly created Saar area in 1920 , Vogelbach moved to the newly created district office in Landstuhl .

From 1939 the place was part of the district of Kaiserslautern . After the Second World War , Vogelbach became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone .

In the course of the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform , the previously independent community of Weltersbach was incorporated into Steinwend on September 1, 1965, and Obermoh was incorporated on June 7, 1969. In 1972 Steinwend became part of the newly formed community of Ramstein-Miesenbach .
