 In a 1379 document, the knight Sir Mohr of Sötern acknowledged that, among other things, he had been enfeoffed with holdings in Gumbsweiler ("Gundeßwilr") by Count Friederich of Veldenz.Nevertheless, the name "Gundeßwilr" that appears in this document has been ascribed by other regional historians, Carl Pöhlmann among them, not to Gumbsweiler, but rather to the village of Ginsweiler.In 1444, the County of Veldenz met its end when Count Friedrich III of Veldenz died without a male heir.
