 Selchenbach, however, remained in the Kusel district.The "Königreicher Hof", which hitherto had lain within Selchenbach's limits, was likewise separated from it and grouped into the Saarland.In the course of administrative restructuring in Rhineland-Palatinate in 1969, Selchenbach became a self-administering municipality within the Kusel district and was grouped into the newly formed "Verbandsgemeinde" of Kusel.
