 In a few reports, an estate called Cheiz, which was mentioned in 1238 in a document from the Wörschweiler Monastery, is named as the origin of the village of Krottelbach.By this theory, the name Kaiserberg (mountain) also goes back to this estate.The name appears in a 1233 document from the Werschweiler Monastery, according to which a Count Heinrich von Castel and his wife Agnese transferred their estate of Cheiz near "Ovenbach" (Ohmbach) to the Werschweiler Monastery.
