to Saint Simeon’s Monastery at Trier
for 260 silver marks in a deed documented by Archbishop of Trier Udo. The Lords of Hachenfels are said to be the village’s namesake. In 1112, Cuno de Hachenfels cropped up in a document about an exchange of holdings between Disibodenberg
Monastery and Provost Richard von Liebfrauen in Mainz
. Named as an occupant of the Hachenburg (an old castle
near the Hachenfels) in 1128 was Adalbero de Hachenfels, who also cropped up in a donation document from Archbishop of Mainz Adalbert I
to Disibodenberg Monastery. In 1140, Emicho VI’s two sons formed the lines of the Waldgrave
s and Rhinegraves (Konrad) and the Raugraves
(Emich VII). It was in this time that a new castle, the Naumburg, was built near Bärenbach, within whose domain lay Schmidthachenbach. In 1172, Emich VII tranferred ownership of the Naumburg to his brother Gerlach. In 1323, Raugrave Conrad sold Archbishop of Trier Baldwin the Naumburg for 1200 Heller
, whereupon Baldwin enfeoffed Conrad with the very castle that he had just sold.
The year 1361 is important in Schmidthachenbach’s history, for this date was to be found on the lintel over the old town hall’s door. In 1393, the castle and the Amt of Naumburg fell under the lordship of the Counts of Sponheim
, whom the Counts of Oberstein owed allegiance. The Obersteins themselves held the patronage and tithing rights at the parish church at Becherbach, within whose parish lay Schmidthachenbach. This put the village in the “Further” County of Sponheim
. In 1439, Wyrich von Dune, Lord of Oberstein, was enfeoffed by the Archbishop of Trier with the castle.
In 1557, the Reformation
was introduced into the County of Sponheim. In 1572, Schmidthachenbach had its first documentary mention under the name Hachenbach. In 1599 came the first documentary mention of the Junkerhof within Schmidthachenbach’s limits. The owner at the time was Junker
Hans Jakob von Dietz, Lord at Mittelreidenbach
. In 1618, the Thirty Years' War
broke out, and locally, it gave rise to “The Legend of the Sunken Rider”.
In 1707, the Amt of Naumburg was taken over by the Margrave
of Baden
. Beginning in 1795, Schmidthachenbach lay under French
rule and became a mairie (“mayoralty”) in the canton
of Grumbach, the arrondissement
of Birkenfeld and the Department of Sarre. Beginning in 1798, Schmidthachenbach belonged to the French Republic; in 1800 there were roughly 300 inhabitants. That same year, Johannes Bückler, commonly known as “Schinderhannes
”, attacked the Antesmühle, an outlying mill in Schmidthachenbach in the Antes valley.
In 1815, in the wake of Napoleon’s downfall and the Congress of Vienna
, French
rule ended and Schmidthachenbach found itself in the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld
while remaining a mairie – although now called a Bürgermeisterei, the German
word for the same thing – within the constituent territory of the Principality of Lichtenberg with Sankt Wendel
as its capital. In 1834, Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld sold the Principality of Lichtenberg to the Kingdom of Prussia
, and it became the Sankt Wendel district. At the time when the German Empire
was founded in 1871, Schmidthachenbach had 466 inhabitants. The “Peace Oak” was also planted near the church this year on the occasion of the end of the Franco-Prussian War
.
In 1937, in the time of the Third Reich
, unlike its two neighbouring municipalities, Schmidthachenbach was grouped into the Birkenfeld district. In 1950, Schmidthachenbach had 498 inhabitants, and this year also marked the end of winegrowing in the municipality. In 1957, Flurbereinigung
began. In 1958, a memorial was built and dedicated to those who fell or went missing
in the First World War and the Second World War. In the course of administrative restructuring in Rhineland-Palatinate
, the Amt of Weierbach was dissolved and Schmidthachenbach was grouped into the Verbandsgemeinde of Herrstein.

might be described thus: Per pale Or a barrulet sable between an anvil in perspective, the horn to sinister chief, of the same and an oakleaf palewise slipped proper, and countercompony azure and Or.
The charge
s on the dexter (armsbearer’s right, viewer’s left) side are an anvil and an oakleaf. The former is canting
for the first syllable in the municipality’s name (Schmidt comes from the base of Schmiede, meaning “smithy”). It is said that Schmidthachenbach was founded by eight blacksmiths. The latter of the two charges, the oakleaf, represents the natural environment within Schmidthachenbach’s limits. The countercompony (that is, two rows of squares of alternating tincture
s) pattern is a reference to the village’s former allegiance to the Counts of Sponheim
, who for centuries ruled the area, and bore arms that were “chequy” (similar, but with more than two rows).
The arms have been borne since 26 August 1963.
