 Oberweiler im Tal lies in the "Eßweiler Tal" on "Landesstraße" 372, which runs north-south along the brook's left bank here.Oberweiler is a linear village (by some definitions, a “thorpe”) with a few sidestreets branching of the main street up into small side dales, and with rather loosely spread building, although the built-up area towards the north end is a bit more tightly packed.Here, during the 19th century, a small residential area grew up over on the brook's right bank.
