In this area used to be the place
Wassenach
He was first mentioned in documents in 1283.
Soil finds suggest that he is already in
the Stone Age was inhabited. The place was on the
Fork of two Roman roads and was therefore
very animated, until 1375 Wildgraf shared
Emrich von Kyrburg and Gottfried von Dhaun
the goods. Then Friedrich von Kyrburg received
Wassenach and 1418 it was Sponheimisches
Fief. In this way, it came to office Herrstein.
It was probably before the 30-
