 Since in the Niederstaufenbach area the Limbach and, upstream, the Reichenbach formed the boundary between these two "Ämter", the part of the village of Niederstaufenbach on the wedge of land between the two brooks must have belonged to the "Amt" of Reichenbach (see the mention of “Mittelstaufenbach” under Municipality’s name).In 1595, the Waldgraves and Rhinegraves gave Niederstaufenbach, together with Hachenbach, Horschbach, Elzweiler and Bosenbach, in an exchange for Kirchenbollenbach to the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken.These villages then became the new "Amt" of Bosenbach, which remained in existence within Palatinate-Zweibrücken until the French Revolution.
