On October 1, 1251, the Archbishop of Trier, Arnold II of Isenburg, incorporated the parish of Hambuch and the associated localities into the Cistercian convent of Rosenthal with the consent of the patron saint .

From 1350, the Mädburg Monastery in the Elztal near Kehrig also owned property in Zettingen.

In the 15th century, the Lords of Brohl owned a farm in Zettingen, which later fell to Georg von der Leyen and Dietrich von Braunsberg . The gentlemen von Brohl were also owners of the bailiwick, the hen and goose interest in Zettingen. The collegiate monastery at Karden also owned meadows, arable land and wilderness in Zettingen. After the secularization of the spiritual goods, they were auctioned by the French between 1804 and 1808. This also affected the property of the monastery Rosental near Binningen , which had four hectares of arable land, three hectares of wilderness and one hectare of meadows in Zettingen.

Due to the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna (1815), the region was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia .
