The owner of the village in 1502 is the knights of Winter. These ownership rights change in 1515, 1566 and 1576 through sale to the Counts of Wittgenstein . In the period from 1585 and 1590 Womelsdorf belonged to the Erndtebrück Schulzerei. In 1819 he moved to the district of Birkelbach. In 1845 Womelsdorf was assigned to the Berghausen district.
