The 1220 first officially mentioned and probably built around 1200 Love Castle on Castle Hill ( Eisweiler ) is further evidence of the importance of our region.

Since the early Middle Ages ( around 1300) until 1 July 1952, the historical development of the ten districts is run partly different. The eight places Baltersweiler, Eisweiler, Furschweiler, Gehweiler ( partial), Heister Mountain, Hofeld - Mauschbach, Pinsweiler and Roschberg belonged until 1794 to the Official St. Wendel or time-and partly to the Official Liebenberg (Love Castle ) in the Electorate of Trier. Hirstein first belonged to the county Veldenz that is passed to the Palatinate- Zweibrücken in the 15th century by way of inheritance. Similarly, the part of the village Gehweiler above the Eichert creek. Namborn belonged contrast to the Official Schaumburg in the Duchy of Lorraine, which became part of the Kingdom of France in 1766. Under an agreement dated November 15, 1786 this office was transferred to Palatinate -Zweibrücken by way of exchange. The actual transfer took place in March 1787.

With the French Revolution and the subsequent occupation of the entire left bank of the Rhine in 1794, the Electorate of Trier and the Duchy of Pfalz- Zweibrücken have perished. Under French rule, new administrative divisions were made. The ten districts of the municipality Namborn were assigned to the following mairies ( mayors ): a) Mairie Walhausen = Baltersweiler, Eisweiler, Furschweiler, Gehweiler, Heister Mountain, Hirstein, Hofeld - Mauschbach and Pinsweiler and Asweiler, Eitzweiler, Gonnesweiler, Mosberg - Richweiler, Steinberg Deckenhardt and Walhausen b ) Mairie Oberkirchen = Roschberg and Grügelborn, Haupersweiler, Upper Church, Reitscheid and Leitersweiler c ) Mairie Namborn = own Mairie in the Moselle department The union of the Moselle department with France on 14 February 1793 the unification of the Saar departments, inter alia, to the included the mairies Walhausen and Upper Churches, took place on February 9, 1801 with the completion of the final peace treaty.

After the defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Leipzig in October 1813 referred back peace agreement dated May 31, 1814 France to its former frontiers on 1 January 1792. At the same time began with the Congress of Vienna (September 18, 1814 to June 9, 1815 ) a reorganization of the dominions. In Articles 49 and 50 of the Vienna Final Act of the Kingdom of Prussia certain parts of preserved areas has been committed, including to the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and the Duchy of Oldenburg cede. In a transitional solution were from " Mairie Walhausen " or " Mairie top churches " without changing the classification of the individual communities now mayor or mayor's top Walhausen churches. Namborn was here assigned to the mayor's Tholey. The dismissal O.A. Areas of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Duchy of Oldenburg was pronounced with the Royal Prussian dismissal patent dated 9 September 1816. Through the Ducal Saxony- Coburgische possession Seizure patent of September 11, 1816 order came nine locations (except Hirstein ) of our church today to the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg. Hirstein other hand, came through patent for the possession of the Principality of Birkenfeld of 16 April 1817, the Duchy of Oldenburg.

With the formation of three cantons ( St. Wendel, Baumholder and Grumbach ) and 15 mayors under Saxe-Coburg by decree of January 11, 1817, inter alia, was the first time the mayor Namborn which included the following locations: Namborn, Baltersweiler, Eisweiler, Furschweiler and Born ( Bornerhof ) Gehweiler, Heister Mountain, Hofeld and Mauschbach and Pinsweiler. Roschberg came to the mayor's top churches. According to Decree of March 6, 1819 named Saxe-Coburg that went into possession on September 11, 1816 territory now as the Principality of Lichtenberg ( based in St. Wendel ). In the context of enlargement with only seven mayors according to Regulation of 22 September 1823 to October 1, 1823, inter alia, the mayors Namborn and Upper Churches dissolved. In the canton of St. Wendel for it arose only two mayors, namely the mayor of St. Wendel, to the now Roschberg (next to 16 other places ) and belonged to the mayor's Bliesen with the places Bliesen, Oberthal, Güdesweiler, Gronig, Namborn, Eisweiler, Gehweiler, Heister mountain, Pinsweiler, Hofeld and Mauschbach, Baltersweiler, Furschweiler and Bornerhof, Alsweiler, winter creek and Marpingen.

By State Treaty of 31 May 1834, the Duchy of Saxe -Coburg, the Principality of Lichtenberg ceded to the Kingdom of Prussia, which took possession thereof by the Royal Prussian possession Seizure patent dated 15 August 1834. With Order of 25 March 1835, determined that the April 1, 1835 the former Principality of Lichtenberg the Trier region of the Rhine Province einverbleibt and now as a circle St. Wendel is performed. Under Prussian regency took place on January 1, 1836 again a reorganization of the mayors of the canton of St. Wendel in the three mayors of St. Wendel, Alsweiler and Upper Churches. After the decision of September 23, 1836 were part of the mayor's top churches following 17 locations: Alsfassen and widths (up to 1843), Baltersweiler, Eisweiler, Furschweiler, Gehweiler, Grügelborn, Haupersweiler and Seitz Weiler, Heister Mountain, Hofeld, Leitersweiler, Mauschbach, Namborn, Upper Church, Pinsweiler, Reitscheid, Roschberg and Urweiler.

To January 1, 1921 Roschberg was again assigned to Upper Church South, so that they now included the places Baltersweiler, Eisweiler, Furschweiler, Heister Mountain, Hofeld - Mauschbach, Namborn, Pinsweiler, Roschberg and Urweiler. With the adoption of the Government Commission of the Saar on May 7, 1921, the mayor's name Upper Church South was changed to mayor Namborn ( based in St. Wendel ). The introduction of the Prussian official order in the Saarland ( from March 1, 1935 reintegration of the Saarland ) by decree of July 31, 1935 changed to August 1, 1935 now called mayor's office in Namborn Namborn to. On April 1, 1937, the Oldenburg part of the country is Birkenfeld ( 1817-1918 Principality of Birkenfeld ) transferred to the State of Prussia and formed with the rest circle St. Wendel - Baumholder from that date the district of Birkenfeld. Thus Hirstein was approx. 120 years with the Principality / part of the country Birkenfeld (Oldenburg ) in the mayor's office or the Office Nohfelden.
