 According to the old border descriptions of the "Remigiusland", Neunkirchen am Potzberg lay outside this holding of the Bishopric of Reims in the Westrich, and thus in the Free Imperial Domain ("Reichsland"), which stretched out over a broad swath of land around Castle Lautern.Just when Neunkirchen arose as a village is very hard to determine, but it was likely founded only in the 10th century.Ernst Christmann was of the opinion that a church that Otto the Great gave the Worms Cathedral Foundation in 937 as a donation was none other than the church in Neunkirchen am Potzberg.
